So, I'm writing a story in Harlowe. I have a passage link early in the story of the form
[[Begin->intro]]
This works, as do a few more of them. However, a few passages in, and suddenly other transitions of this type only give me a red link, even with a valid passage - arrows pointing to them and everything. All passages beyond this point have this issue as well.
Using link-goto itself works fine, but I'd rather just use the simpler passage link format because that's easier. What in my story could possibly break this format?

Sure.
I would guess it may be due to the fact that in some forms of search an underscore can also represent any char and if this is the case in this instance then it the passage search may be returning multiple results because your passage names are similar, but without actually looking at the Harlowe source code that is only a guess.
But then why doesn't the first one with an underscore cause it to break?
eg. "intro", "intro_majordomo", "md_no_intro" and "md_yes_intro"
But once you get to "md_yes_scene1" the start of the names are very similar.
eg. "md_yes_scene1", "md_yes_scene1_pentessa", "md_yes_scene1_castellan", etc...
This is assuming that my guess about what is happening with search and the underscore is correct.
