Abbreviations work great, but revealed a larger problem in the test domain
I'm operating in. I wanted to use the abbreviations to populate lists in
bash shell scripts as in:
for ip in a b c d ; do
...
done
where "a b c d" is the result of an abbreviation. That works but doesn't
allow me to reconfigure the list, since the abbreviation disappears after
its invocation. If I make the list part of a section reference and try
for ip in << my list >> ; do
...
done
then the shell gets confused by the sentinels.
When trying an @auto directive, based on the doc which says that @auto
expands section references on write and outputs no sentinels, section << my
list >> is reported as an orphan node and the @auto file is not written.
@auto <path to file>
body text including << my list >
<section node> << my list >> as child of @auto above.
Am I missing something from the doc for @auto?
