Including external markdown content with Assemble.io

Question

working to get external content included with other .hbs files and unable to get it to work.

I have installed handlebars-helper-md and loading.

Based on the docs here - I have tried:

---
content: ../path/to/content.md
---
{{md  content }} 

and

{{md  '.. /path /to /content.md '}} 

I have tried every possible file path I could think of to get the file to render, and have gotten nothing to display.

Is the file path relative to the current directory I'm in? Is this target/task oriented in grunt? Any other directions or things I may have missed?

Answer 1

Ok - a little more trial and error, as well as reviewing the Github readme helped me figure this out.

I included the files in the options object:

assemble: {
   options: {
       partials: 'my/partials/directory/*.md'
   }
}

And was then easily able to do this:

{{md 'myfile'}}

Working great now.
