 Any double quotes (`"`) or backslashes (e.g. LaTeX `\times`) occurring within the value of any frontmatter parameter (such as the *abstract*) should be escaped with a backslash (`\`). For example, the symbol `"` and LaTeX text `\times` become `\"` and `\\times`, respectively. Refer to the [TOML documentation](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml#user-content-string) for more info.

+## Create other pages (e.g. CV)
+
+For other types of content, it is possible to create your own custom pages. For example, let's create a `cv.md` page for your Curriculum Vitae in your `content` folder. Copy across the frontmatter from the top of one of your post files, adapting it as necessary, and editing your Markdown content below. You can then link to your new page by adding the code `[My CV]{{</* ref "cv.md" */>}}` to any of your existing content.
+
+Alternatively, for the above example, we could use a PDF of your Curriculum Vitae. For this purpose, create a folder called `files` within your `static` folder and move a PDF file named `cv.pdf` to that location, so we have a `static/files/cv.pdf` file path. The PDF can then be linked to from any content by using the code: `{{%/* staticref "files/cv.pdf" */%}}Download my CV{{%/* /staticref */%}}`.

 ## Manage node index pages
 
 The node index pages (e.g. `/post/`) are the special pages which list all of your content. They can exist for blog posts, publications, and talks. The homepage widgets will automatically link to the node index pages when you have more items of content than can be displayed in the widget. Therefore, if you don't have much content, you may not see the automatic links yet - but you can also manually link to them using a normal Markdown formatted link in your content.
