The `os.ReadFile` function attempts to resolve the path relative to the root of your project directory. If a matching file is not found, it will attempt to resolve the path relative to the [`contentDir`](/getting-started/configuration#contentdir). A leading path separator (`/`) is optional.
|
|
|
|
With a file named README.md in the root of your project directory:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
This is **bold** text.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This template code:
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{ readFile "README.md" }}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Produces:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
This is **bold** text.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that `os.ReadFile` returns raw (uninterpreted) content.
