As topic name, stuff like spells and items show up in their "unconverted" state ("(Spell #xxxxx)") if added during edits.
Symbol of Hope original post
Symbol of Hope added during editActually, nevermind. It worked now, it didn't when I did it in another post earlier. Caching issue or something?

I posted
this a while back to a person who had the same question.
The "Live Preview" does not load items when you are typing your post. However, you will know that you item code is working if you see the item in parentheses instead of brackets. AKA if you type \
Document from Boomstick Imports and see (item=18234) in the live preview, you will know that the translation code is working. You can even hover your mouse over the live preview and see the tool tip for that item. The last thing that you should know is that if an item is already on the page itself, say in another post, then it will load automatically in the "Live Preview".
If you ever post something, and it didn't come out the way you want, use the "edit" button to make those changes.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Cheers,

The links were working in the sense that they linked correctly on mouseover, but all the ones I added during the edit showed up in the actual post after the edit had been submitted as they show in live previews (i.e. as
(Spell #64901)) rather than as converted links (
Symbol of Hope).
Just for clarification the "faulty" link above was reproduced with formatting, it's not an actual spell link.
Unfortunately I copied the post I had the issue in, deleted the original and pasted the content into a new reply so I can't say whether it was a persistent issue or something temporary in that case (I'm assuming that it was because the server was busy loading multiple items and that if I had refreshed the page a bit later the links would have worked). Should teach me to check reproducibility next time I submit a bug report.

Again, this is how the system works. before a (spell # xxxxxx) link will convert to an actual link, it requires a page refresh. This is why when you see them in the live preview, and then press post, the link will change an appear correctly. The edit button works a little different, because pressing "Save" on the edit, doesn't actually refresh the page.
So, when you are editing something, and adding a new link that has never been referenced on the page before, it won't show up until you actually refresh the page again. You can try it, it will always work that way.
