+Variable Conventions
+--------------------
+
+MakeItSo! provides a few variables for you.  You can include another
+file or URL using {{include(URI)}}, where URI is the file path or the
+URL (of course, internet is required to include remote resources). The
+included resource is not included.
+
+Files and URLS being interpolated also have the variable %(here)s,
+which is the parent of their resource.  Therefor, using sensible path
+conventions, a neighboring file may be (e.g.) included like
+
+{{include(here + 'foo.txt')}}
