# Title: Render Partial Tag for Jekyll
# Author: Brandon Mathis http://brandonmathis.com
# Description: Import files on your filesystem into any blog post and render them inline.
# Note: Paths are relative to the source directory
#
# Syntax {% render_partial path/to/file %}
#
# Example 1:
# {% render_partial about/_bio.markdown %}
#
# This will import source/about/_bio.markdown and render it inline.
# In this example I used an underscore at the beginning of the filename to prevent Jekyll
# from generating an about/bio.html (Jekyll doesn't convert files beginning with underscores)
#
# Example 2:
# {% render_partial ../README.markdown %}
#
# You can use relative pathnames, to include files outside of the source directory.
# This might be useful if you want to have a page for a project's README without having
# to duplicated the contents
#
