+# Title: Include Array Tag for Jekyll

+# Author: Jason Woodward http://www.woodwardjd.com

+# Description: Import files on your filesystem as specified in a configuration variable in _config.yml.  Mostly cribbed from Jekyll's include tag.

+# Syntax: {% include_array variable_name_from_config.yml %}

+#

+# Example 1:

+# {% include_array asides  %}

+#

+# _config.yml snippet:

+# asides: [asides/twitter.html, asides/custom/my_picture.html]

+#
