Hi @steep solar. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
To link to a PDF file stored in your content folder, you can use the standard HTML <a> element. The href attribute of the <a> element should contain the path to your PDF file.
Here's an example:
<a href="/path/to/your/file.pdf">Link to PDF</a>
Replace /path/to/your/file.pdf with the actual path to your PDF file. If your PDF file is in the content folder, the path might look something like this: /content/file.pdf.
Please note that the path should be relative to the public directory in your Astro project. If your PDF file is not in the public directory, you might need to move it there or adjust your project configuration to include the content directory in the served files.
For more information, you can refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/tutorial/2-pages/2#test-your-knowledge).
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@raw delta how do i create this link using frontmatter in a md file in a content collection

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
To create a link to a PDF file using frontmatter in a Markdown file within a content collection, you can define the link in the frontmatter section of your Markdown file. Then, you can use that link in your Markdown content.
Here's an example:
---
title: 'My Markdown page'
pdfLink: '/path/to/your/file.pdf'
---
This is my page, written in **Markdown.**
**Link to PDF** (pdfLink)
In this example, pdfLink is a custom frontmatter property that contains the path to your PDF file. You can then use this property in your Markdown content to create a link to the PDF file.
Please replace /path/to/your/file.pdf with the actual path to your PDF file. If your PDF file is in the content folder, the path might look something like this: /content/file.pdf.
Please note that the path should be relative to the public directory in your Astro project. If your PDF file is not in the public directory, you might need to move it there or adjust your project configuration to include the content directory in the served files.
For more information, you can refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/markdown-content#_top).

@raw delta if i want to include a download link to a pdf stored in the same folder as my content how do I do that?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
To include a download link to a PDF file stored in the same folder as your content, you can use the standard HTML <a> element with the download attribute. The href attribute of the <a> element should contain the relative path to your PDF file.
Here's an example:
**Download PDF** (./file.pdf)
In this example, ./file.pdf is the relative path to your PDF file in the same folder as your Markdown file. The . denotes the current directory.
Please replace file.pdf with the actual name of your PDF file.
Please note that the path should be relative to the public directory in your Astro project. If your PDF file is not in the public directory, you might need to move it there or adjust your project configuration to include the content directory in the served files.
