+Live hooks will continue to re-render themselves until they encounter and print a [[harlowe:stop|(stop:)]] macro. [[harlowe:stop|(stop:)]] should be used whenever you don't need to keep the hook "live", to save on processing and passage repainting (which can interfere with clicking, selecting text, and other interactions).
+If you want to just display a hook once a certain thing happens (that is, when the condition in an [[harlowe:if|(if:)]] macro becomes true) and then [[harlowe:stop|(stop:)]], then the [[harlowe:event|(event:)]] macro may be shorter and easier to use for this.
+Currently, you **cannot** attach (live:) to a [[harlowe:command|command]] (such as in ''%%(live:2s)(link-goto:"?")%%''). You have to wrap the command in a hook (such as ''%%(live:2s)[(link-goto:"?")]%%'').
