middleman - Consuming markdown inside yaml -

i'm doing first website middleman , it's raising questions me. 1 of if acceptable or/and right approach.

my site ir organized so:

data   about.yml   carrer.yml   ... source   en           index.html.erb     career       index.html.erb   ... config.rb gemfile gemfile.lock 

i wish consume .yml html.erb file inside yaml have this:

pt:     slides:       - url: "/images/url.png"         markdown: "#heading one"        - url: "/images/url.png"         markdown: "#heading one"        - url: "/images/url.png"         markdown: "#heading one" en:     slides:       - url: "/images/nocturna_new_lisbon_bridge_2.jpg"       ---       markdown:       #heading oness       ####heading 4       ---        - url: "/images/url.png"         markdown: "#heading one"        - url: "/images/url.png"         markdown: "#heading one" 

no problem on pt version how can make more complicated markdown on en version? doesn't work...

finally on index.html.erb have somewhere in page:

            <% data.homepage_carousel.en.slides.each_with_index |f, index| %>                 <div class="item <%='active' if index == 0 %>" style="background-image:url(<%= f.url %>)">                     <div class="carousel-caption">                         <%= markdown f.markdown %><!-- calling helper-->                     </div>                 </div>             <% end %> 

and ok...

looks it:

en:     slides:       - url: "/images/nocturna_new_lisbon_bridge_2.jpg"         markdown: >           #heading oness             ####heading 4   ... 

the extra-lines ad spaces looking > @ beginning of var.
