 Once this property is set as shown above, all symlinks will automatically be resolved to their targets.
 
+### etag (Boolean)
+
+HTTP response headers will contain a strong [`ETag`][etag] response header, instead of a [`Last-Modified`][last-modified] header. Opt-in because calculating the hash value may be computationally expensive for large files.
+
+Sending an `ETag` header is disabled by default and can be enabled like this:

 ## Error templates
 
 The handler will automatically determine the right error format if one occurs and then sends it to the client in that format.
