# Linking to Posts in Python Pelican

Pelican provides a syntax for linking to another post by its filename.

Pelican provides a special syntax to simplify linking between content files. Use `|filename|` to automatically resolve the correct URL. For example:

```markdown
Link to another [TIL](|filename|__main__.py file in a project.md) on this
```

Pelican converts this into the correct URL during site generation. This is particularly useful for linking without worrying about the final directory structure.
