title: How to render a Jekyll markdown page on sites index
body: <p>I'm probably missing something simple but I have no way to test Jekyll locally.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using GitHub pages to render Jekyll, for starters I only want to render markdown content on the main  <em>index.html</em> from one markdown page.</p>
  
  <p>The structure is: </p>
  
  <p><strong>Index.html</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>---
  layout: default
  ---
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>_layouts</strong><br>
   - default.html</p>
  
  <pre><code>//html stuff..
  &lt;section&gt;
  
  {{page.content}}
  
  &lt;/section&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In root folder I have a page called <code>content.md</code> that I wish to render for <code>{{page.content}}</code> the layout renders but the liquid tags section is blank.</p>
  
  <p>How do I render <code>content.md</code>?</p>
