Excerpt content no longer appearing

Question

I have a content page with a table of contents I want to appear on another page.

On the content page, I have an /excerpt and inside a /table of content.  Until recently this was working fine, displaying the TOC on the content page AND displaying the TOC on the other page, where the /excerpt include exists.

Recently it all broke.  Now the table of contents no longer appears on the content page, nor does it appear on the include page.  I've recreated the /except and just put text in there and that showed up on the /excerpt include page but if I build the TOC inside the /excerpt, it no longer appears.

As I said, it's been working until recently and there are about 10 pages included on the roll-up page, so I'm pretty sure it was a release that broke it.  I do have the "absolute URL" checked on the TOC - is there something else that I should change to make this work again?

Also, when I edit the /excerpt-include the content appears in the preview just as I expect it, but on the page, when published the box is empty.

I'm seeing this exact same issue. Has there been any progress or discovery?

Steps to reproduce the issue

* Insert TOC on a page that displays Header 1 through Header 3.* Note the page uses Sections to display the content on larger left section and the TOC on the narrower right section.

* Publish the page.  (Result:  The page displays the TOC)
* Edit the page to wrap the TOC inside an Excerpt macro along with Title text "On this page" above it.
* Publish the page. (Result:  The TOC no longer displays, but the Title text does.)
* Insert the Excerpt into another page. (Same result: The TOC does not display, but the Title text above it does)

has there been any discovery on this issue. I swear this was working for me some time ago but now it is not.

i.e.

* two column page layout
* an excerpt macro (excerpt given a name)
* a toc macro

when published, now does not render the toc.

a excerpt include macro on a second page pointing at this excerpt also does not render the toc.

Greg,  thank you!  I was optimistic when I read your results so I created new pages, but had the same result.

I created 1 page and inside the except I put a sentence and a /TOC.  I would have expected both the sentence and TOC to appear when published, but all that appeared was the sentence.

The sentence also appeared in the except-include, so it seems to have a problem with the macro nested in the macro.

I do, by the way have the absolute URL checked and this page worked for months without being edited.  :(
