# Include
With the `include` directive you can include the contents of another file inside your template. The contents of the included file will be treated as if the contents of that file were written in place of its `include` directive.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can only write `include` directives where you could also write HTML. This means, `include` directives are not allowed in the following contexts:
* Before the `func` directive in main files
* Inside the body of a mixin call, if not inside one of the mixins `block`s
{% endhint %}
Depending on the included file's file extension, corgi will treat included files differently:
* `.corgi`: The file will be treated as corgi code, and will be parsed by the parser.
* `.html`, `.js`, or `.css`: The file will be minified and included in the output.
* Any other file will be escaped using `woof.EscapeHTMLBody` and written to the output.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't want the behavior described above, but cannot/don't want to change the file's extension, consider using `cat` as a filter:
```pug
:cat myfile.js
```
{% endhint %}
Included `.corgi`-files may also `import` and `use` other files.
{% code title="style.css" %}
```css
.yellow {
color: yellow;
}
```
{% endcode %}
{% code title="nacho.corgi" %}
```pug
p Do you know how hard it is to get cheese out of fur in a sonic shower?!
```
{% endcode %}
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Corgi" %}
```pug
head
style
include "style.css"
body
include "nacho.corgi"
```
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="HTML" %}
```markup
Do you know how hard it is to get cheese out of fur in a sonic shower?!
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
