The DataDir extension loads each directory of renderable files under _data/ as a map attached to the site object.

Usage

The DataDir extension loads each directory of renderable files under _data/ as a map attached to the site object.

For instance, the following layout:

_data/
  team/
    bob.md
    jim.md

would result in a map at site.team with the value of

{  :bob=><page for bob.md>,
   :jim=><page for jim.md> }

The bob.md page may look like

---
name: Bob McWhirter
blog_url: http://bob.mcwhirter.org/
---

Bob started Project:odd (as [Odd Thesis](http://oddthesis.org/)) in September 2008. He currently contributes to 
[Deltacloud.org](http://deltacloud.org).  He's also the lead on [TorqueBox](http://torquebox.org/).

The rendered page content (without layout) and the page data may be access from any other page.

\#{site.team[:bob].name}
\#{site.team[:bob].blog_url}
\#{site.team[:bob].content}
