+ <p>
+ You can place some types of raw content into the xdocs directory. For example,
+ you can place a PDF file in <code>src/documentation/content/xdocs</code> and link
+ to it normally,
+ <strong><a href="../hello.pdf"></strong><a href="../hello.pdf">hello.pdf</a><strong></a></strong>
+ However, note that if the file is one that Forrest is able to process, for example
+ an HTML file, these files will be processed accordingly.</p>
+
+ <p>
+ It is also worth noting that files in the xdocs directory will only be copied
+ into your final site if there is a link to them somewhere in the site. See the next
+ section for details of how to include content that is not linked.</p>
+
+ <p>
+ For more information see the

+ <title>Including Static Content that is Not Linked</title>
+
+ <p>
+ You can include raw HTML, PDFs, plain-text, and other files. In your final site by
+ placing them in the <code>src/documentation/content</code> directory. Files in this
+ directory will be copied over automatically but will not be processed in any way by
+ Forrest, that is they will be linked to as raw files.</p>
+
+ <p>
+ You can also have sub-directories such as
+ <code>src/documentation/content/samples/subdir/</code> which
+ reflects your main
+ <code>xdocs/</code> tree. The raw files will then end up
+ beside your documents.
