Bug description

When using the abbreviations and the glossary plugins things work as expected if you add the terms in the glossary and then you modify an .md file to include those abbreviations. However, if you add the terms without modifying the file, the result is that the file will not render the abbreviations correctly.

It seems to be related to the .cache folder. If this is removed, then the glossary is correctly displayed again.

3. Save the file.
4. Add necessary plugins as described in tooltips and glossary in your zensical.toml file:

[project.markdown_extensions.abbr]
[project.markdown_extensions.attr_list]
[project.markdown_extensions.pymdownx.snippets]
auto_append = ["includes/abbreviations.md"]

5. Create an empty includes/abbreviations.md file (place it outside docs, i.e., root of your project).
6. Execute zensical serve. This will create a .cache folder in the root of your project.
7. Add the following content to the abbreviations.md file:

*[HTML]: Hyper Text Markup Language
*[W3C]: World Wide Web Consortium

8. Visit the page.

At this point, the page should not display the abbreviations.
