I have a section “kontakt” with an [index.md](http://index.md) inside for my contact page.  
In layouts I have a folder “kontakt” with a template “section.html” inside.  
I verified that this template is used (putting some garbage in the file).

my problem is, that the content and title of the [index.md](http://index.md) is not showing, only the partials around them.

the template is:

```
{{/*
layout for contact page
*/}}
{{ define "main" }}
<article>
ssss
  <div class="text entry-content">
    {{ .Content }}
  </div>
  {{ partial "tools/contact-form.html" . }}
</article>
{{ end }}

```

{{ .Content }} is not showing. What am I doing wrong?

I got it working with the following template, but somehow think that’s reinventing the wheel 😉

```
{{ define "main" }}
  {{ with .Site.GetPage "page" "kontakt/index.md" }}
    <article>
      <header class="title">
        <h2 class="entry-title">
          <a href="{{ .Permalink }}">
            {{ .Title }}
          </a>
        </h2>
      </header>
      <div class="text entry-content">
        {{ .Content }}
      </div>
      {{ partial "tools/contact-form.html" . }}
    </article>
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}
```

- Sections have content files on the form “\_index.md”

Not sure **that** is the magic bullet here, but you asked the question.
