Passage and Section turning out blank (and) line not working.

Hello there. I downloaded Squiffy for Linux just a few hours back. I'm using Mint Cinnamon x64.
I'm just missing something so obvious! I'm just not looking hard enough! I'm not doing this right!

So, there's this code:
You wake up in a room.

[[Open your eyes]], or
[[Keep sleeping.]]

[[Keep sleeping.]]:
You keepp sleeping and enter your dream world. Welcome. What do you want to do?
You can...
#[[Live a life.]]
#[[Go on an adventure.]]

[[Live a life.]]:
You are ...
#[[A growing streamer with a warm community full of lovable people.]]
#[[A soldier of the namely Shinsengumi.]]
#[[Head of the most powerful Hong Kong mafia.]]
#[[A black-clad Prince.]]
#[[A mad Princess.]]
#[[The Golden Child.]]

[[Go on an adventure.]]:
You imagine yourself being a fierce warrior with blade of the sun. You and your glorious blade Sheila go on all kinds of adventures. You have sworn to die by your blade. Today's adventure of you, The Sun Knight, is to escort the king as he travels to the Kingdom of Stellars. Other than you, there are a few more knights, all well-known people. They are Mary, Theodore, Joseph, Willem and others, who are like assistants and students of the knights.
#[[Talk to Willem.]]
#[[Talk to Mary.]]
#[[Talk to Theodore.]]
#[[Talk to Joseph.]]
#[[Do nothing.]]


[[Talk to Willem.]]:
You talk to the charismatic blond man with long hair. He almost seems too pretty for this job, but scars of battle could suit any man.
#["Hey there, Wills."]

#["Greetings, Willem.]
#["Isn't your face too pretty for this?]

["Hey there, Wills."]:
You strike up a conversation with Willem in a nonchalant, ignoble manner. You know a knight shouldn't speak like this, but ...



[[Open your eyes]]:

It seems to be an extravagant room. Walls designed with golden flower patterns with shades of slight red.


As you can see it's an unfinished story. I tried passing the "Go on an Adventure" choices either as Passages or Sections. Tried both. I feel as if I'm writing some of it wrong and I'm not getting it because my brain doesn't see it. Like that one time when I was enraged at why a certain code wasn't working, read it all over again, came back to it an hour after only to see that the problem was right in front of my face and I was missing a bracket.
When I run the "Go on an Adventure" path and make the only possible choices yet, "Hey there, Wills." choice bugs out on Squiffy and shows a blank, even though there's text on its path.

Another issue, the "Isn't your face too pretty for this?" doesn't even show up as a passage/section. It's like this:

<a class="squiffy-link link-passage" data-passage=""Isn't your face too pretty for this?"" role="link" tabindex="0">"Isn't your face too pretty for this?"


I tried removing the hashtags. No dice.
Please, PLEASE, tell me what I'm missing. I just can't see it. My brain doesn't see it. My brain can't execute this file. My system is overheating. I'm not mad, not frustated, JUST SO CONFUSED.
I'm so confused........so confused.......so.......con.......fu.......sed......*shutdown*

Are the hashtags just for visual effect? If so, fine. Otherwise, you don't need them.

I think putting a comma in a passage title is screwing up that passage. You can avoid this by using a different title, and including it after the link, like this:

["Hey there, Wills."](Hey Wills)

[Hey Wills]:
You strike up a conversation with Willem in a nonchalant, ignoble manner. You know a knight shouldn't speak like this, but ...

Another thing to be aware of: - You can make a direct link to a different section, but not to a passage in a different section.
