In case that was incomprehensible, here’s my old persistent include file,
“Minutes Header":
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Wilton ZBA Minutes - #MEETING_DATE#</title>
<meta name="description" content="Wilton, NH ZBA Minutes,
#MEETING_DATE#" />
#bbinclude "Common Head Elements"
</head>
<body class="minutes">
#bbinclude "ZBA Letterhead"
#bbinclude "Navigation Bar"
<p class="breadcrumbs">
<a href="#RELATIVE#index.html">Wilton ZBA</a> >
<a href="./index.html">Minutes</a> >
#MEETING_DATE#
</p>
#bbinclude "Minutes disclaimer"
<h1>#MEETING_DATE#</h1>
When I include this in a document with
<!-- #bbinclude "Minutes Header" #MEETING_DATE#="December 11, 1996" -->
<!-- end bbinclude -->
and update the document, I end up with
<!-- #bbinclude "Minutes Header" #MEETING_DATE#="December 11, 1996" -->

printed minutes that are available in the Wilton Town Offices. Also, the
minutes posted here are the original, draft minutes, without any corrections or

<h1>December 11, 1996</h1>
<!-- end bbinclude —>
Now I write a script, "Minutes Header.swift”, and change the persistent include
to
<!-- #bbinclude "Minutes Header.swift" #SCANNED#="1" -->
<!-- end bbinclude -->
When I run this script standalone, it writes this to standard output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Wilton ZBA Minutes — December 11, 1996</title>
<meta name="description" content="Wilton, NH ZBA Minutes, December 11,
1996" />
#bbinclude "Common Head Elements"
</head>
<body class="minutes">
#bbinclude "ZBA Letterhead"
#bbinclude "Navigation Bar"
<p class="breadcrumbs">
<a href="#RELATIVE#index.html">Wilton ZBA</a> >
<a href="./index.html">Minutes</a> >
December 11, 1996 </p>
#bbinclude "Minutes disclaimer with scanned PDF"
<h1>December 11, 1996</h1>
But when I update the document, I get
<!-- #bbinclude "Minutes Header.swift" #SCANNED#="1" -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Wilton ZBA Minutes — December 11, 1996</title>
<meta name="description" content="Wilton, NH ZBA Minutes, December 11,
1996" />
#bbinclude "Common Head Elements"
</head>
<body class="minutes">
#bbinclude "ZBA Letterhead"
#bbinclude "Navigation Bar"
<p class="breadcrumbs">
<a href="../index.html">Wilton ZBA</a> >
<a href="./index.html">Minutes</a> >
December 11, 1996 </p>
#bbinclude "Minutes disclaimer with scanned PDF"
<h1>December 11, 1996</h1>
<!-- end bbinclude -->
I.e., unlike the first example, the nested #bbincludes are not expanded.
