This doesn’t work as it displays a link to the next post under the section, which in the documentation is defined as the top level folder directly under content:

```auto
.
└── content
    ├── post
    | ├── firstpost.md // <- http://1.com/post/firstpost/
    | ├── happy
    | | └── ness.md // <- http://1.com/post/happy/ness/
    | └── secondpost.md // <- http://1.com/post/secondpost/
    └── quote
        ├── first.md // <- http://1.com/quote/first/
        └── second.md // <- http://1.com/quote/second/

```

In this case, post and quote are both sections.

However, my content tree looks like this:

```auto
.
└── content
    ├── blog
    | ├── firstpost.md // <- http://1.com/post/firstpost/
    | ├── happy
    | | └── ness.md // <- http://1.com/post/happy/ness/
    | | └── stuff.md // <- http://1.com/post/happy/stuff/
    | └── secondpost.md // <- http://1.com/post/secondpost/
    

```

And I only want the links to show up on ness and stuff pages, and they only have links to posts under “happy” but that is considered the “slug” and not a Section. So basically you need a .NextInSubSection, or .NextInSlug variable.
