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`]({{< relref "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
{{ os.ReadFile "README.md" }}
```
Produces:
```html
This is **bold** text.
```
Note that `os.ReadFile` returns raw (uninterpreted) content.
For more information on using `readDir` and `readFile` in your templates, see [Local File Templates]({{< relref "/templates/files" >}}).
