The `LinkTitle` method returns the `linkTitle` field as defined in front matter, falling back to the value returned by the [`Title`] method.

[`Title`]: /methods/page/title/

{{< code-toggle file=content/articles/healthy-desserts.md fm=true >}}
title = 'Seventeen delightful recipes for healthy desserts'
linkTitle = 'Dessert recipes'
{{< /code-toggle >}}

```go-html-template
{{ .LinkTitle }} → Dessert recipes
```

As demonstrated above, defining a link title in front matter is advantageous when the page title is long. Use it when generating anchor elements in your templates:

```go-html-template
<a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a>
```
