Creating 'static' content that uses partials

[bep]

On the intro page, Last revision: February 20, 2016, I do not see anything that explains this behavior.

I just pointed to “the documentation”, you would have to look it up yourself.

To sum up:

1. Files in /layout are layout files, chosen by some rules by Hugo to render content. Putting static files in here is very unusual, and you should know the whats.
2. HTML files in /static … is static, so what you put in the file is what gets published
3. HTML files in /content:
   – if it has front matter (even only empty), it gets rendered as a content file with layout file, partials, shortcodes etc.
   – if it does not have front matter, it behaves as it was placed in /static
