Include a text file *as is* in (Python) Sphinx Docs

Question

(using Python-Sphinx Documentation tool)

I have a .txt log file I\'d like to build into _build/html unaltered. What do I need to

Answer 1

I think you can include an external document fragment, as described here:

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#including-an-external-document-fragment

From that text, something like this should do it:

.. include:: inclusion.txt
   :literal:

Answer 2

The correct answer is the :download: role.
