+## Avoid file capture in a route parameter
+
+The following route template inadvertently captures static asset paths in its optional route parameter (`Optional`). For example, the app's stylesheet (`.styles.css`) is captured, which breaks the app's styles:
+
+```razor
+@page "/{optional?}"
+
+...
+
+@code {
+    [Parameter]
+    public string? Optional { get; set; }
+}
+```
+
+To restrict a route parameter to capturing non-file paths, use the [`:nonfile` constraint](#route-constraints) in the route template:
+
+```razor
+@page "/{optional:nonfile?}"
+```
