How to set pagination_next and pagination_prev using id in front matter

[awdhaan]

Does anybody know how I can use the pagination_next and pagination_prev front matter variables to link to a specific document id.

I have tried setting a specific document as follows:

`---
id: 1

title: some document
---`

and then linking that from another document as follows:

`---
title: some other document

pagination_next: null

pagination_prev: 1
---`

(original code does not contain blank lines)

when building the project, it errors out that the id cannot be found.

What should I be doing differently?

Hi! It's a bit confusing, but currently the id front matter only changes the last part of a doc's ID. For example, if your doc is at /docs/tutorial/basic/intro.md, adding id: 1 can only make its ID become tutorial/basic/1. You still need to use the full ID when using pagination_prev.

See #6018 where we also plan to make the id front matter declare the full ID instead of the last part.
