## Assets colocation

The `content` directory is not limited to markup files though: it's natural to want to co-locate a page and some related
assets.
assets, for instance images or spreadsheets. Gutenberg supports that pattern out of the box for both sections and pages.

Any non-markdown file you add in the page/section folder will be copied alongside the generated page when building the site,
which allows us to use a relative path to access them.

For pages to use assets colocation, they should not be placed directly in their section folder (such as `latest-experiment.md`), but as an `index.md` file
in a dedicated folder (`latest-experiment/index.md`), like so:

Gutenberg supports that pattern out of the box: create a folder, add a `index.md` file and as many non-markdown files as you want.
Those assets will be copied in the same folder when building the site which allows you to use a relative path to access them.

```bash
└── with-assets
├── index.md
└── yavascript.js
└── research
├── latest-experiment
│ ├── index.md
│ └── yavascript.js
├── _index.md
└── research.jpg
```

In this setup, you may access `research.jpg` from your 'research' section,
and `yavascript.js` from your 'latest-experiment' directly within the Markdown:

```markdown
Check out the complete program [here](yavascript.js). It's **really cool free-software**!
```

By default, this page will get the folder name (`with-assets` in this case) as its slug.
By default, this page will get the folder name as its slug. So its permalink would be in the form of `https://example.com/research/latest-experiment/`

### Excluding files from assets

It is possible to ignore selected asset files using the
[ignored_content](./documentation/getting-started/configuration.md) setting in the config file.
