Best practice for including readme text in index page for a multi-module project?

I'm currently including readme-style text for my project's index page directly in ldoc.ltp, marked up in HTML. This works, but I'd prefer to keep that text in a separate .md file, and include it in ldoc.ltp via some type of reference. What's the best way to do that?
