The `RawContent` method on a `Page` object returns the raw content. The raw content does not include front matter.

```go-html-template
{{ .RawContent }}
```

This is useful when rendering a page in a plain text [output format].

[Shortcodes] within the content are not rendered. To get the raw content with shortcodes rendered, use the [`RenderShortcodes`] method on a `Page` object.
