Problem with tildes in Harlowe Twine 2
Twine 2 & Harlowe.
I want to be able to put punctuation inside macros.
According to the "Verbatim markup" section here, http://twine2.neocities.org/, if I want to use punctuation within a macro call, I should use tildes (or graves, it's not clear--the text says tildes but the actual mark they use is a grave). However, when I try this, it doesn't work. The output is always "unexpected markup". Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've tried so far:
In another example, I can't seem to get question marks to work inside click-replace, like so:
With this example, the clickable link doesn't appear in the output.
Is this just a known issue and I'll have to work around it? Thanks!

(print: "He said, "Hi." ") (print: "He said, `"Hi."`") (print: "He said, ~"Hi."~") (print: "He said, ``"Hi."``") (print: "He said, ~~"Hi."~~")
In another example, I can't seem to get question marks to work inside click-replace, like so:
Do you want to make a wish? (click-replace: "Do you want to make a wish?")[Ask and ye shall receive.]
With this example, the clickable link doesn't appear in the output.
