How to use assemble to add a directory of markdown files to my index - gruntjs

Question

I'm trying to add static site generation to a site in order to make it more organised and easier to contribute to. The index file has a section with with an unordered list and a number of list items that all share the same formatting. I would like to dynamically load these list items from a folder of markdown files.
I'm trying to do something like
{{forEach file in the folder}}
<li>
<div class="container">
<div class="display">
{{markdown content of the file}}
</div>
<div class="code">
<pre>
<code class="language-javascript">
{{ string from YFM in markdown file }}
</code>
</pre>
</div>
</div>
</li>
{{/forEach}}
I don't actually want each markdown file to be assembled into it's own page in my dist folder, just used as a dynamic collection of partials for my index file.
Is this possible?

Answer 1

These two parts of an apparently never finished tutorial explain how to use markdown files as a dynamic collection of partials to integrate on the index site:
http://www.andismith.com/blog/2014/02/getting-started-with-assemble/
http://www.andismith.com/blog/2014/02/creating-a-list-of-posts-in-assemble/
Inside the loop that's iterating the md files I used this construct to get the yfm-stripped content "included" as content on the index site (took me quite a while to figure out):
{{#markdown}}
{{page}}
{{/markdown}}
Also refer to the documentation on Collections on http://assemble.io, but careful, there's some conflicting information out there as to the options hash for collections (name: posts vs. name: post, that is, singular vs. plural and autoinflection vs. inflection: post, but bottom line: stick with the variant in the links above :))
