+We can compile our images in a similar way. We use `idRoute` again, but we don't
+want to change anything -- so we use `copyFileCompiler`. The difference between
+most other compilers and `copyFileCompiler` is that the lattern will *not*
+attempt to read the file: it will copy the file directly, so it supports large
+binary files as well.

 Next, we're going to render some pages. We're going to style the results a
 little, so we're going to need a [Template]. We simply compile a template using
 the `templateCompiler` compiler, it's good enough in most cases.
