If omitted, Retype automatically tries appending `.md`. All three of the following calls use the same resolution rules: ```md {{ include "setup" }} {{ include "snippets/support" }} {{ include "../shared/notice.md" }} ``` If the path starts with `..`, Retype resolves it relative to the calling page's directory. --- ## File types Both `.md` and `.html` files can be included.
