How best to get YAML variables in a content include from the including file?

[Dave Everitt]

I have an .md include with no YAML data that's used in several site pages.

content/
  _inc/
    include.md # wants YAML variables from including page 'mypage.md'
  subfolder/
    mypage.md # includes 'include.md' and sets YAML variables

I want YAML data from the including file to be available in the include itself for processing.

I can't find a method in the documentation for this?

Hey Dave,

Nanoc doesn’t directly support what you’re trying to do.

One approach that comes to mind would be copy the attributes during preprocessing. This way, you can copy attributes from one item to another. Would that work?
