 It is important to note that {" pull quotes are merely visual in presentation and should not appear twice in the text. "} That is why it a CSS only technique for styling pull quotes is preferable. Octopress includes a handy pull quote plugin to make this easy for you.

+Import files on your file system into any blog post or page. As a best practice, be sure these files are included in your site's repository.
+
+#### Syntax
+
+    {{ "{% render_partial path/to/file" }} %}
+
+The `render_partial` tag resolves paths to the `source` directory, so write your paths accordingly.
+
+#### Example Usage 1
+Perhaps you want to create a readme page for your blog. You have a file at `source/readme/index.markdown` and the `README.markdown` for your project is
+a sibling to your source directory. To import your project's readme into your readme page, you'd do this:
+
+    {{ "{% render_partial ../README.markdown" }} %}
+
+#### Example Usage 2
+You may have two pages which need to share some of the same content. To prevent your partial from being rendered by Jekyll as a page, add an underscore to the
+beginning of the file name, or put it in a directory that begins with an underscore. For example, if you wanted multiple pages to share a table of contents, you might create `source/documentation/_partials/TOC.markdown`.
+Any post or page could import this file like this:
+
+    {{ "{% render_partial documentation/TOC.markdown" }} %}
