Option to split index.md

Hi giastfader! Do middleman partials solve this problem for you?

I am going to close this issue for now, but feel free to reopen if partials does not solve your problem. Thanks!

Hi!

I've just faced this same problem and ended up with a simple solution that is to create a "includes" collection in index.md and, in the layout, look up and render the partials.

Here's the code added to the layout.erb file, right under the <%= yield %> tag:

        <% if current_page.data.includes %>
          <% current_page.data.includes.each do |inc| %>
            <%= partial "includes/#{inc}" %>
          <% end %>
        <% end %>

I opted to use a collection in the index.md because it gives better control on what's being included and in which order.

I can create a pull request if you find this useful.

Cheers

Cool, thanks @mdlima! A pull request would be awesome, since this seems like a feature that many people want.
