jekyll markdown internal links
Jekyll uses Markdown-formatted links, but how can I link to internal content?
[[link]]
Solution 1:
You can now post internal links by using the following:
[Some Link]({% post_url 2010-07-21-name-of-post %})
This is also referenced in the Jekyll Documentation.

Solution 2:
It is now possible to link to pages other than posts using the link
tag. link
works for posts, pages, documents in a collection, and files.
{{ site.baseurl }}{% link _collection/name-of-document.md %}
{{ site.baseurl }}{% link _posts/2016-07-26-name-of-post.md %}
{{ site.baseurl }}{% link news/index.html %}
{{ site.baseurl }}{% link /assets/files/doc.pdf %}
Remember to include the file extension when using the link
tag.
To use it to create a link:
[Link to a document]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link _collection/name-of-document.md %})
[Link to a post]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link _posts/2016-07-26-name-of-post.md %})
[Link to a page]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link news/index.html %})
[Link to a file]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link /assets/files/doc.pdf %})
See Jekyll Documentation.
Solution 3:
For pages, they decided not to add a page_url
tag because you'd have to know the path of the page anyway. So you just have to link to it manually:
[My page](/path/to/page.html)
Or you can do something big and ugly like this if you want to programatically get the title of the page:
{% for page in site.pages %}
{% if page.url == '/path/to/page.html' %}
[{{ page.title }}]({{ page.url }})
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
