When working with content files, the resource type is page.

content/
├── lessons/
│   ├── lesson-1/
│   │   ├── _objectives.md  <-- resource type = page
│   │   ├── _topics.md      <-- resource type = page
│   │   ├── _example.jpg    <-- resource type = image
│   │   └── index.md
│   └── _index.md
└── _index.md

layouts/lessons/page.html

{{ range .Resources.ByType "page" }}
  {{ .Content }}
{{ end }}
