Marked goes blank when CriticMarkup is used
Marked works as expected when I'm working with a standard MD file, but as soon as I add any CriticMarkup, the renderer goes blank and I can't seem to figure out why. When I check the HTML Source View, it's fine, but it doesn't actually preview anything in the normal view.

Hi Vi,
Could you paste the output of Help->Report an Issue and let me know what OS version you're running Marked on?
Thanks,
Brett

You may need to install the Xcode Command Line Tools to get CriticMarkup functioning again. It relies on Python, which is no longer included by default as of macOS 12.0. Marked should have asked you to install the tools automatically, but apparently it didn't get triggered. To install the tools, open Terminal, paste the following, then hit return:
xcode-select --install
See here for more info: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/install-xcode-command-line-tools/
Sorry for the inconvenience. It's quite frustrating that Python is no longer included by default, but I haven't had a chance to fully circumvent Marked's need for it yet.

I already have both Xcode and Python installed
Support Staff 5 Posted by Brett on 09 May, 2022 04:25 PM
Well that's odd then. I'll have to do a little more digging, will follow up when I've had a chance to test with your setup further.
Thanks,
Brett

Hey, where is Python installed for you? Do you have the python3 executable?
Thanks,
Brett

Running “Whereis python3” returns that it’s installed in /usr/bin/python3 (which is Python 3.9.12) and also in /opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/python3.1, I also have it installed at /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.9 and /opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/python3.9.1
I’m actually not sure why I have so many installations, I must have messed something up in homebrew once lol. But Python 3.9.12 is definitely in my PATH, and runs when I run the “python3” command.
Also, I’m not sure if this helps give more insight, or just adds another issue, but I’ve also noticed that it goes blank when I drag in a Scrivener 3 file.

I would also like to jump onto this ticket. I'm having the same issue when using critic. It'd be great for any solution. Thanks.

Kris, can you verify that python is installed for you? See the above thread.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett,
Yep! I have a mirror situation like the above. It’s really weird! I love Marked and realized just how important it is for my workflow. Thanks for the excellent app. Hope this can get fixed. In the meantime is there another app that I can use to tide me over until this is resolved?
Thanks!
Take Care.
God Bless,
Chris Wu

There's no app I know of on Mac that does what Marked does, though most
good Markdown editors have a preview, and some (like MultiMarkdown
Composer) handle CriticMarkup well.
If anyone on this thread could help me out by telling me:
1. Do you have Python installed, and if so, was it via the Xcode Command
Line Utilities? If not, have you tried installing via the Command Line
Utilities?
2. If you run `which python3`, what path is given?
3. How about `which python`?
Thanks,
Brett

I replied to an email earlier, but it appears it never got added to the thread for some reason, I apologize. Anyway, “which python3” returns "/opt/homebrew/bin/python3”, and “which python” says “python not found”
Running “whereis python3” returns that it’s installed in /usr/bin/python3 (which is Python 3.9.12) and also in /opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/python3.1, I also have it installed at /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.9 and /opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/python3.9.1

Sorry, it appears my email replies aren't adding to the thread, I've replied with the answer to your question twice and it hasn't appeared, using the website now. Anyway, “which python3” returns "/opt/homebrew/bin/python3”, and “which python” says “python not found”

Hi Brett,
Thanks for the follow-up. I’m happy to report that Marked is back working for me. I don’t know exactly what I did other than reinstall Marked, reinstall python as well as Xcode. After the installation and restart, I tested it out and it seemed to return back to its usual parameter. Phew!
Looking forward to nvAlt. Have a good one.
Take Care.
God Bless,
Chris Wu

@Violet Evans: sorry, your responses did get spammed by the support system, my apologies.
I think the issue may be that I hardcoded /use/local but on M1 it should be /opt. I’ll work on a fix that takes into account brew installations.

That makes sense, I’m glad we could find a solution! Thank you for your help
