Files containing Critic Markup fail to be displayed in Marked

// Please enter a detailed description of the issue // Description of the issue:

Any file containg critic markup syntax will fail to display in the latest version of Marked 2 (MAS). It appears the content is there, as the word count is displayed accurately, but I can’t find any way of displaying anything in the Window. Exactly the same file without the critic markup will display perfectly.

// Please enter a list of steps required to reproduce the issue // Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a simple file with any critic markup
   
2. Open it in Marked 2 – nothing is displayed though the content is counted for word count
   
3. Remove the the critic markup from the same file
   
4. It will now display the content perfectly.

NB: BBEdit and DT3 both preview the critic markup file perfectly.

// If applicable please attach a sample document that causes the issue for you.

The file is minimal, but please see the attached screenshots of the same file with and without critic markup (the three windows are from top to bottom are BBEdit, BBEdit Preview and Marked 2).

Thanks!

   As reported on the BrettTerpstra.com forums there's now a fix for this. I'll be publishing the release tomorrow and it will hopefully be available for all update channels within 72 hours.

   Hi Brett,

   Thanks for this! I posted on the forum thread that I'd tried out your temporary fix successfully, so I look forward to the 'official' version!

   Many thanks,

   David

   Several months later and I still am having this problem. It makes me sad.

   Are you on the latest version?

   Valid question. I’m told I am on the latest version.

   Marked 2 2.6.44 is currently the newest version available.

   I attached a screenshot of my “update” modal.

   I also attached the file I’m using to test it.

   And, also, you might want the configuration log:

   What happens if you open Terminal and type which python or which python3?

   Try running:

   ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin/python3
   /usr/local/bin/python3

   Marked currently looks for Python v2 in the Frameworks as it had never
   been updated to v3. That's interesting. But if you can get a symlink
   (above command) into /usr/local/bin, it should work for you.

   In the meantime I've converted the script to a Ruby script and left
   Python behind for this purpose. If the above doesn't solve it for you,
   the next release might.

   Thanks for your speedy reply. Sadly it didn’t work, and I can continue to wait.

   It’s so weird, though. The word count still updates, which means some part of it knows that the content is there. But the html just doesn’t render inside the div#wrapper.criticmarkup and there’s no ul inside div#generated-toc .

   When I turn off Process CriticMarkup the content is all visible inside div#wrapper and I can see the list inside div#generated-toc.

   I can help you write a strongly worded letter to the parents/guardians of Python v3, but it seems you’ve already chosen to invest your time in this Ruby kid instead.

   I have two points relevant to this:

   1. I believe I do have an account, but I still have to answer the question.
      
   2. As a human and not a machine, I am aware that the sky is not always the same colour but have never been game to try a different answer to the one I know gets my comments posted.</aside>

    Sorry to hear that. Does `/usr/local/bin/python3 --version` give you
    appropriate version output? Python is used in other areas of Marked
    (such as Scrivener compiling) and if you're game to help me narrow down
    the issue, I'd like to pursue it a little bit.

    Yeah, the word counting and other features fully parse before sending
    the marked up document out to the criticmarkup script. That script is
    returning a blank response, so while most features appear to be
    functioning, the final HTML output is being blanked out.

    > 1. I believe I do have an account, but I still have to answer the
    > question.

    I'll have to look into this. The platform of this support site is long
    in the tooth and poorly updated/supported, but moving to something more
    modern means erasing the history of all questions asked and answered
    already, so I've been hesitant to do so. If you ever want to, you can
    also post questions/bugs in the Marked category of
    https://forum.brettterpstra.com. That runs on Discourse and is actively
    developed :).

    It does.

    ➜  ~ /usr/local/bin/python3 --version
    Python 3.12.3
    

    and if you're game to help me narrow down the issue, I'd like to pursue it a little bit.

    I am. These are the problems I like diving into, even if I don’t fully understand them. Let me know what you’d like me to try.

    If you ever want to, you can also post questions/bugs in the Marked category of https://forum.brettterpstra.com.

    Thanks. I’ve created an account there under Sealfur. Very happy for you to move this conversation over there for the extra digging.
