Rendering static content in Symfony2 project

I would like to include static content in a Symfony2 project. I have auto-generated some documentation HTML files that I would like to render. They are complete HTML files, with links between them.

Thus, I would have something like:

I guess I would need to create a bundle that deals with these static files, stored in its Resources/public, but I don't know what is the best way to achieve this. Also, the routing should be able to recognize every route under mysite.com/docs/.

You can create the directory docs in the web directory.

If you look at the rewrite rule in the .htaccess located in the web directory you will see : 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

It means "if the file doesn't exists, use the app.php (therefore Symfony2) file with the rewrite rule".

Thus, if you create the file (e.g docs/test.html) in the web directory, you will be able to access it directly from mysite.com/docs/test.html

Edit : Think about the css and js files for examples. When you include them, they are not handle by the router
