+### 1.4. About the HDLRuby files.
+
+The HDLRuby files, that include HDLRuby description of circuits, are text files (the default encoding is UTF-8), is file name's extension is by convension `.rb`. It is possible to include other HDLRuby file within the current one using the `require` (for HDLRuby standard files) or `require_relative` (for local HDLRuby files) methods as follows:
+
+```ruby
+require "filename"
+require_relative "path_to_another_filename"
+```
+
+As it will be seen later, software Ruby code can also be used for generic descriptions of circuits. It is also possible to include Ruby code from different files using respectively `require_ruby` for standard libraries and gems, and `require_relative_ruby` for local files.
