### Permalinks
-In your site configuration, set a URL pattern for regular pages within a top-level section. This is recursive, affecting descendant regular pages.
+In your site configuration, define a URL pattern for each top-level section. Each URL pattern can target a given language and/or [page kind].
-{{% note %}}
-The `permalinks` defined in your site configuration do not apply to section pages. To adjust the URL for section pages, set `url` in front matter.
-{{% /note %}}
+Front matter `url` values override the URL patterns defined in the `permalinks` section of your site configuration.
-#### Examples {#permalinks-examples}
+[page kind]: https://gohugo.io/templates/section-templates/#page-kinds

+#### Monolingual examples {#permalinks-monolingual-examples}
With this content structure:
```text

├── posts/
-│ ├── _index.md
-│ ├── post-1.md
-│ └── post-2.md

```
-Create a date-based hierarchy, recursively, for regular pages within the `posts` section:
+Render tutorials under "training", and render the posts under "articles" with a date-base hierarchy:
{{< code-toggle file="hugo" copy=false >}}
-[permalinks]
- posts = '/posts/:year/:month/:title/'
+[permalinks.page]
+posts = '/articles/:year/:month/:slug/'
+tutorials = '/training/:slug/'
+[permalinks.section]
+posts = '/articles/'
+tutorials = '/training/'
{{< /code-toggle >}}
The structure of the published site will be:
```text
public/

-│ ├── 2023/
-│ │ └── 03/
-│ │ ├── post-1/
-│ │ │ └── index.html
-│ │ └── post-2/

```
To create a date-based hierarchy for regular pages in the content root:
{{< code-toggle file="hugo" copy=false >}}
-[permalinks]
- '/' = '/:year/:month/:title/'
+[permalinks.page]
+"/" = "/:year/:month/:slug/"
{{< /code-toggle >}}
-{{% note %}}
-A URL pattern defined for the content root is not recursive.
-{{% /note %}}
+Use the same approach with taxonomy terms. For example, to omit the taxonomy segment of the URL:
+
+{{< code-toggle file="hugo" copy=false >}}
+[permalinks.term]
+'tags' = '/:slug/'
+{{< /code-toggle >}}
+
+#### Multilingual example {#permalinks-multilingual-example}
-Use the same approach with taxonomies. For example, to omit the taxonomy segment of the URL:
+Use the `permalinks` configuration as a component of your localization strategy.
