Project replacement expanding to <$include:…> prints <$include:…> statement

Scrivener Beta Testing (Mac)

A project text replacement (and it seems format-specific ones, too) that references an <$include:Text> placeholder, upon compiling, only outputs the raw placeholder, not its referenced text.

[size=85]Scrivener 3.0.9 r9414[/size]
[size=85](Apologies if this is a technical limitation present in previous versions; I have only used 3.0.1 previously and experienced a corrected <$include> bug in that build.)

Steps:

  1. Create a two texts: one inside the Draft (‘test’), the other outside the Draft (‘marker text’)
  2. Add some text to ‘marker text’. Add text to ‘test’ but end it with !m on a blank line by itself
  3. Open Compile screen and add a project replacement for !m which expands into <$include:marker text> (regex, case sensitive, whole word: all disabled)
  4. Compile to PDF

Expected Result:
Final document includes the text written in both ‘test’ and ‘marker text’.

Actual Result:
Final document includes the text in ‘test’ and <$include:marker text>.

<$include> and other tags are themselves types of replacements, so you cannot rely on them being done in any particular order. The text is first built (compiled) and <$include> tags replaced, and then replacements are run on the built text. So what you are seeing is expected behaviour.

Thank you for clearing that up. I’ll find a workaround for what I’m trying to do.
