[Sugarcube] remove macro not working

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get Sugarcube's remove macro to work. Even if I use the example code in Sugarcube's documentation, which is

I'd like a <span id="huge-cupcake">humongous </span>cupcake, please.

<<remove "#huge-cupcake">>

on a fresh Twine story, I keep on getting the same error:

Error: <<remove>>: no elements matched the selector "#huge-cupcake"

What am I doing wrong? Is there any 2.0 syntax that I'm missing?

Thanks!
