[LH4352] Use of placeholder LevelN_title tags

I’m setting up a system to write sections of my book to html for a serialization. I wanted the heading of each installment to consist of the Book title, the Part of the book, the chapter title, and number of the part of the chapter in this installment, like this:

Human Unforgiven
Love, Death, and Sin
Chapter One: Part One

So I’ve set up heading in compile to insert that at the beginning of the post like so:
TITLE PREFIX:

<$level2_title>
<$level3_title>
<$level4_title>:
TITLE SUFFIX:

Everything works perfectly, except that the $levelN_title tags are just returning the title of the current heading:

Part One
Part One
Part One: Part One

I’m wondering if I’m misunderstanding how that tag works, if this is a bug, or if it’s just something that hasn’t been fully implemented yet.

The placeholder pdf says this:

Looks like it’s a bug. I’m not sure the placeholders have ever completely worked properly, but I think this one may be a new bug. Not sure; there’ve been quite a few for placeholder problems.

Thanks RW.

I’d change the title of this post to include “Bug” but I don’t know how…

You don’t need to. If the L&L devs or staff read this, replicate it, and agree it’s a bug, they’ll update the thread title with the actual bug tracking number.

Us users putting [BUG] and [RC6] and all that other stuff in the thread doesn’t do diddly at the end of the day.

Just make the title a simple, clean statement about the issue so people can find it.

Yes, this is a bug and on the list. Thanks!
