+## Relative URLs
+
+By default, all relative URLs are left unchanged by Hugo,
+which can be problematic when you want to make your site browsable from a local file system.
+
+Setting `relativeURLs` to `true` in the site configuration will cause Hugo to rewrite all relative URLs to be relative to the current content.
+
+For example, if the `/post/first/` page contained a link with a relative URL of `/about/`, Hugo would rewrite that URL to `../../about/`.
