Details

(Whiteboard: [specification][type:bug])

What did you do? ================ Created two macros -- SubpageMenuByCategories and SubpagesWithSummaries. The former calls through to the latter using the template() kumascript call. What happened? ============== Sometimes, the output from the SubpagesWithSummaries command is "sticking", not updating even though I've revised its code. It appears that SubpagesMenuByCategories is using cached output from the sub-macro, even after the sub-macro has been edited. What should have happened? ========================== If a macro has been changed, cached values mustn't be re-used. This is particularly important in this scenario, because it makes it nearly impossible to debug (especially since if the sub-macro has KumaScript bugs, you won't see error messages). Is there anything else we should know? ======================================
If context for what these macros output is useful, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML for example.
