Term, Advanced Variable not displaying in Mouseover highlight of History entry

In an article with a link to a History block from a timeline, an advanced term variable is not displaying when the mouseover pops up, leading to the sentence being nonsensical.
  The same variable displays normally in mouseover previews of other linked articles on the same page.
  The first link on the page, The Crusade of Clarity (TL), the first sentence end should read,
  "in the name of bringing Truth and salvation."
  "Truth" is a variable and is omitted from the sentence - where in the next hover preview, The Lady of Light, "Truth" displays normally in the text line.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Load the page linked
  • See the "Truth" variable displayed on page and some links, but specifically not in the first link preview
  • Click through to page and see that the variable is present in the Timeline description
  • Wonder about whether the Truth is important enough to submit a bug report and pray to the Lady of Light while you go make a cup of coffee
  • Spin up a test article and timeline entry to confirm that simple variables also don't load in timeline descriptions on mouseover previews when you link them in an article, either (https://www.worldanvil.com/w/evi-nara-kiwinerd/a/test-article)

Hey there :) This is not a bug - not all BBcode is working on Timelines, variables are definitely not there as it stands. Please read on the documentation for the list of BBcode available, the TL;DR answer is that basic text manipulation, linking and image input is available   As always - if you have any questions please let me know by commenting below!
