 ## Pitfalls
-- The `#include` command must not be in the last line of the file
+- The `include` command must not be in the last line of the file
-- The `#include` command can not be in multi-line comment if the included file also contains comments
-- `#if`, `#elif`, `#else` and `#endif` must not be in multi-line comments
 - The maps in `set` must have **at least 2** options
+- The `section` commands must not be in a conditional block
+- The conditionals must not be neseted
 - If you want to use variables in markdown, you have to escape the `#` with a backslash, so `#$(var)` becomes `\#$(var)`
 - You can not use the `return` command from within the arguments of other commands. Commands are executed in order, so `return` will end up as argument of the first command and thus never be executed
