LinkTitle

PAGE.LinkTitle

string

The LinkTitle method returns the linkTitle field as defined in front matter, falling back to the value returned by the Title method.

---
linkTitle: Dessert recipes
title: Seventeen delightful recipes for healthy desserts
---

+++
linkTitle = 'Dessert recipes'
title = 'Seventeen delightful recipes for healthy desserts'
+++

{
   "linkTitle": "Dessert recipes",
   "title": "Seventeen delightful recipes for healthy desserts"
}

{{ .LinkTitle }} → Dessert recipes

As demonstrated above, defining a link title in front matter is advantageous when the page title is long. Use it when generating anchor elements in your templates:

<a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a>
