Does Jupyter Book support include files? - getting error No Content permitted

[lwasser]

Hi There - i'm trying to include a chunk of text that I may want to use in a few spots in my book. i've tried a few things:

Classic Sphinx:

.. include:: ../scope.md

Using the directive feature

start it...
```{include} ../scope.md

```
end include

and i get:

ERROR: Directive 'include': No content permitted

I may not understand how the book infrastructure maps to regular sphinx here. is it possible to include a file?
Many thanks for any guidance.

Heya yeh just remove the blank line from the body of the include

you rock -- that was the issue. it's all working now. I noticed that i needed to run jupyter clean . and then build . to get it to refresh properly. but it's working now!! thank you!!
