Note that the filename must be relative to the current project working directory, or the project's `/content` folder.
|
|
|
|
So, if you have a file with the name `README.txt` in the root of your project with the content `Hugo Rocks!`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{{readFile "README.txt"}} → "Hugo Rocks!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you receive a "file doesn't exist" error with a path listed, do take note that the path is the last one checked by the function, and may not accurately reflect your target. You should generally double-check your path for mistakes.
