Description

First, thank you for making such a fantastic tool!

GitHub has an ability to display a README.md file not in the repository's root, as long as it's in either docs/ or .github/. The feature is documented here.

Suggestion

I'd find it useful to have a similar capability for gitea, replicating this capability of GitHub. Perhaps we could even have it read another folder, like /.gitea.

I would also be interested in this. More specifically it would be nice to be able to specify a file directly in an arbitrary path of the repo
