Topic: Integrate a Non-FHIR-File in IG

How can I integrate a non-FHIR file (e.g. xml) into the IG so that I can link to it? I have seen examples that include files in the input/images folder, but it is not actually an image...

it's just another page

The XML file is not generated in the output folder if I put the XML in the input/pagecontent folder and add the following in the ImplementationGuide resource:
<page>
<nameUrl value="Example123.xml"/>
<title value="Example 123"/>
<generation value="xml"/>
</page>
What am I doing wrong?

The images folder is where you dump stuff that you want migrated into the publication with no transformation/manipulation. If you have a proposal for a better name for the folder, feel free to suggest :)

You only represent something as a 'page' if you want to generate an HTML page. If it's just a 'resource' file, then you don't want to treat it as a page. As an example, in the CDISC Mapping IG, I've got an XML file that is a semi-computable representation of the mappings. We didn't use StructureMap because that was too heavy for what we were trying to accomplish. So it's just custom XML. We did want to provide it to consumers of the IG in case they wanted to come up with their own renderings/transformations of it. I just stuck it in the 'images' folder and it migrates fine.
