Let’s say I am creating a new markdown file. I have two paragraphs. I would like to embed an already existing md file in between two paragraphs. I would also want to render the embedded file with a custom Content View Template.

I would be grateful if anybody could explain how to do it.

This can be done by using a shortcode and then grabbing the other markdown file as a page resource.

I don’t know how to do this. Maybe others can help you there.

You can use

```
{{ .Page.Resources.GetMatch "*your-page*" }}

```
