Item5427: TOC is evaluated too early? when written in a template

I have a "client team" topic view template, with a number of fixed elements, such as team members, client list and so on. At the top of the contents I have written %TOC%. But this will only list the headers in the view template, not the headers in the actual topic.

renamed item - I presume this means that TOC is evaluated before the topic TEXT is inserted.

Per agreement at TWiki:Codev.GeorgetownReleaseMeeting2008x03x17 downgraded to Normal.

I just discovered this bug and note that it has apparently dropped off the table for being addressed. For what it's worth (and certainly so for anyone else to runs up against this bug before it's addressed), there's a simple workaround: don't use the %TEXT% tag in the view template. Use %INCLUDE{%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%}% instead.
