 {{ get_url(path="css/app.css") }}
 ```
 
+For assets it is reccommended that you pass `trailing_slash=false` to the `get_url` function. This prevents errors
+when dealing with certain hosting providers. An example is:
+
+```jinja2
+{{ get_url(path="css/app.css", trailing_slash=false) }}
+```
+
 In the case of non-internal links, you can also add a cachebust of the format `?t=1290192` at the end of a URL
 by passing `cachebust=true` to the `get_url` function.
