### Raise an `HTTPException` in your code

`HTTPException` is a normal Python exception with additional data relevant for APIs.

Because it's a Python exception, you don't `return` it, you `raise` it.

    if not match_pre:
        raise RuntimeError("Couldn't find pre section (<style>) in index.md")
    frontmatter_end = match_pre.end()
    pre_end = match_start.end()
    post_start = match_end.start()
