I tried using this in a Chrome extension to render Markdown from ChatGPT code boxes. It was a real nightmare and I couldn't even get it to work. The links to marked, prism and I think it was DOMpurify, all need updating! In the end I just used a userscript for TamperMonkey.

It would help to address this issue if you provided more details. What was a real nightmare? What happened? Why did you conclude that the links need updating?

Sorry for the delay. I've been busy trying to get my Chrome extension to work using marked. If you'd like to try it out: Markdown for ChatGPT

One of the issues I had with md-block was that I had installed via npm and had to use webpack to get things to work. Then I encountered issues related to commonJS modules vs ES6 modules and properly setting the webpack config files. Once I sorted that out, I got an error message concerning the outdated links and then another error message that had to do with the customElements define statements.

I also noticed that marked had been updated and should now be using marked.parse instead of just marked.

I gave up using md-block because I couldn't understand your code, namely things like let marked = window.marked!

Feel free to close this comment. At least I learnt something new, i.e. custom elements! Thank you.
