+ [2015-06-13T19:13:57Z] allejo BlueProtoman, what are you trying to achieve?
+ [2015-06-13T19:14:08Z] allejo i.e. an example of the code you want use
+ [2015-06-13T19:14:38Z] BlueProtoman allejo: I want to use format, except instead of throwing TypeErrors on invalid types (e.g. "f" to a %d) or ArgumentErrors for too few arguments, I just want to return some default values. I got format working, I just want it to be friendlier to bad input

It's the default directory, I have never explicitly told Jekyll to look there, so I believe it is not needed or even the reason why your code does not work
+ [2015-06-14T02:49:30Z] seemant Hi Everyone. I'm working on a jekyll powered site, where I've put yaml files into a hierarchy under _data, to drive the content of various pages
+ [2015-06-14T02:49:53Z] seemant I'm having a bit of a challenge in understanding how jekyll/liquid are interpreting those structures
+ [2015-06-14T02:51:31Z] seemant it seems to be an object {'filename' -> {filename's yaml is json}, 'filename2' -> {filename2's yaml is json}}
+ [2015-06-14T02:52:27Z] seemant and that makes sense -- where I'm having trouble is that I can't do something like this: site.data.blah['{{ somevar }}
