Macros not working and it isn't the quotations

[Krovoc-The-Destroyer]

edit2: Solution given at the bottom.

So, healing without macros is a real chore. So I make some. Namely I create, by hand, typing them out.
/macroicon cure
/action "cure" <t> /action "cure" <tt>
I get into a Guildhest, and it doesn't work. Nor do my similar DPS macros (stone and aero also typed out by hand).
I windle it down, trying to figure out what is wrong, first by removing the last line. Eventually all I have is
/macroicon stone
/action "stone"
This still doesn't work. I then try casting via the chat window. I type /action "stone" <t> and hit enter. That works, as does /action stone, /action "stone", /action stone <t>. I then went through a similar process with /action "cure" <me> with the same result. I've also tried executing the macros directly, without assigning them to a hot bar.

edit: I did try capitalizing the first letter of Cure. So now it's /action "Cure" <me> which also doesn't work.

solution: I had an extra line bettwen /macroicon and /action. so instead of

/macroicon ability

/action ability < ___ >

I have

/macroicon ability
/action ability < ___ >
