Creating a Hook that is a Link to Hide/Show? (Harlowe)

  The way to fix this problem is to put a space between the first and second brackets.
  
  There's also a few problems with your if line
  to access the story history you need to call a macro (history:)
  The action to perform when the condition is true should be in a separate hook
  There's no hide macro. Instead replace the contents of the ClinicAsk hook with an empty hook
  To reference a named hook you need to put a ? before the name
  The line needs to come after the line that defines the hook in order to work
  
  The following works
  

  [ [[What do you mean by Clinic?]]]<ClinicAsk|
  
  (if: (history:) contains $whatdoyoumeanbyclinic)[(replace: ?ClinicAsk)[]]

  If you want to conditionally show a markup link you could just warp it in an (if:) macro like so:

  (if: (history:) contains $whatdoyoumeanbyclinic)[ [[What do you mean by Clinic?]]]
  

  ... note the space character between the start of the (if:) macro's associated hook and the start of the markup link.

  Also, a style comment: If you want to save a few seconds' time, I'd rename

  $whatdoyoumeanbyclinic
  

  to something shorter, like

  $meanByClinic
  

  or something. It also makes the code a lot easier to read later on.
