Permit public directory listing on a WordPress site

I needed to make the directory /docs publicly available so that I could put up lecture notes for various courses there. By default you get a 403 error message when you try to access it. The fix is very simple. Add the line
Options +Indexes
to the .htaccess file in the root directory.
Could it be easier?
(Hat tip to this very useful set of tips..)
