I am seeing these template problems with quickbook using the 'develop' 
branch:

1) I have a cxxd_templates.qbk file which has this template:

[template power[x y] '''[x]<superscript>[y]</superscript>''']

I include it first in my main .qbk file as:

[include cxxd_templates.qbk]

In another .qbk file, which is also included in my main .qbk file after 
the cxxd_templates.qbk I have:

"Despite the fact that there are [power 2..n] possible ..." etc.

but this shows up as is:

"Despite the fact that there are [power 2..n] possible ..." etc.

If I just put the template at the top of that other .qbk file instead 
the expansion actually takes place. Why is this ? Is not the template 
global to all sections of the doc after it is defined somewhere ?

2) The template above when expanded via [power 2..n] shows x with y 
superscripted rather than 2 with n superscripted. Why is this and how do 
I get it to work properly ?
