Plugin does not work for markdown sources in collections

[FokkeZB]

Markdown files with no front matter are copied to _site as-is, with no .html version.

I'd expect the plugin to work on markdown sources in collections as well.

@FokkeZB are you saying that without the plugin they're converted to markdown, or that they're not copied at all? With the plugin, it sounds like they're copied but not rendered, is that correct?

[FokkeZB]

What I mean is that Markdown files with no front matter that are part of collections are not processed by this plugin. As the source code shows it only processed pages.

This would be especially helpful because Jekyll itself used to process files without frontmatter in collections, but stopped doing so in version 2.2.0. jekyll/jekyll-help#223

[benbalter]

I'd be glad to a review a PR if someone would like to make this opt-in for collections (e.g., via flag when the collection is describe in the config).

@benbalter - Would be great to get this functionality added :) Looking to get the 96boards.org documentation into a pure markdown format!

BR,
