This is the base Jekyll theme. You can find out more info about customizing your Jekyll theme, as well as basic Jekyll usage documentation at [jekyllrb.com](http://jekyllrb.com/)

First of all, includes are not supposed to have front matter. Remove it from _includes/index.html. This must now read as :

Including markdown file from an html post/page is not working straight.

In order to include a .md file from an .html one, you need to capture, then markdownify.

layout: default
---
<div class="home">
  {% capture index %}{% include index.md %}{% endcapture %}
  {{ index | markdownify }}    
</div>
