Nesting Abilities

Hey there. After reading an old post on the Roll20 forum and reading the nesting macro section of the Roll20 Wiki, I still cannot suceed in calling an Ability with another Ability. It sounds simple, just put %{character|ability}, but it doesn't work... The point is to have a weapon strike (Arme), then another macro doing a weapon strike + something else. However, it never triggers the other Ability.

So my first question is, have you closed all abilities?  Can you call the ability outside of the macro via %{Duelliste|Frappe et parade} ? (enter %{Duelliste|Frappe et parade} into the chat) In my test I was able to reproduce your setup and it worked correctly. 
Ah, yeah something good to know with macro calling, if you're calling macro 2 and 3 via macro 1, you have to have macro 2 and 3's changes saved before macro 1 can call the updated call. You can test the same macro you're working on w/o saving it, but if it's calling on another macro, that macro needs to be saved In other words, be sure you save them before testing them out.

Hey, indeed I did not close the abilities. It is now working both in Abilities and in the chat xD I  literally tried everything else...  How embarassing, but thanks for the help !
