Expected Behavior

I've copy-pasted multiple examples from the documentation directly into my markdown, yet it doesn't render.

The documentation or documentation for lists, both says to simply make a table/list and reference it in a codeblock. Like so:

| Header |
| A          |
| B          |

Or

-   a
-   b
-   c
-   d

And then reference it in another note like so:

dice: [[Note^block-id]]

Current behaviour

A simple roll like so:
dice: 1d4 ...works as intended.

But any kind of reference simply loads the entire file, and the dice graphic does nothing when clicked.

I've now tried simply copy pasting the exact examples in the documentation, but it doesn't render anything from the note at all.

Reproduction

Copy and paste the documentation examples, and notice that they fail or doesn't work as intended.

Can I have some clarification on if you are copying and pasting, or manually typing in the examples?

Yes.

I tried manually first, because it seemed incredibly simple. Then I tried manually following the documentation, then I copy-pasted when I got too frustrated.

I figured out the issue!

The documentation said that block references were optional. So to test and avoid as many variables, I tested with a single list or table in a note, and tried getting it without quoting.
