I think you can commit to a PR or update a PR, though I don't know specifics about that. (I often see 'commented on an outdated PR' in other repos, so it should be possible.

Anyway, on to your contribution: :) It's not a big deal it's not recursive, I'll add an issue that it should be updated.

What I'll do post merge though is change the default. I don't like the '_partial' default, so I'll change that. As that will break your own code, I'll add a docnet.json setting for configuring the include folder so you can keep using '_partial', which you likely chose to meet your own setup. :)

In my template engine in LLBLGen Pro I've implemented a recursive template include parser directive some years ago so it's not a big problem for me to implement that later on.

Thanks!

Thanks @FransBouma. Will search Github manuals to understand how to update a PR :-). I also remember seeing people update a PR.

Renaming partial folder is not an issue for me. I will rename my folder. So, not a big deal. Feel free to do what ever you feel is the easiest option for you. Around recursive parsing, I can also push something in few weeks. To be honest I find C# and recursion to be very cumbersome as I code in F# most of the time where writing tail recursive code is amazing :).

The regexp is a bit of a problem though: @@include("foo.htm") also includes the "" in the matched filename. I assumed quotes were in order, as that's in general the intuitive way to go I think. It also matches directives given inside code blocks, which is a bit of a problem documenting this feature, but not really for many other situations.

I'll correct the quotes issue for now in the code directly (stripping them off) and will file an issue moving this to the span parser in markdowndeep :)
