Possibility of having data within document

[ghost]

Why you don't implement that YAML headers could contain the data of the template. This could be simple, because no external document were needed.

This is something that I would be keen for too. I make heavy use of the yaml blocks for markdown->pdf and it would be good to be able to use this for a website as well (with suitable changes to the template). Only allowing variables that would currently go in 'data:' would be useful, but even better would be to allow 'title:', 'template:' etc to be specified in the yaml block. This is the approach used by Jekyll and seems to work well.
