"Object has no method named 'slice'"

[JJ]

I'm trying to parse this: https://github.com/JJ/hoborg/blob/master/text/text.md md2html works without a glitch; however, this code:

var novel = fs.readFileSync(path); var novel_html = md.toHTML(novel);

issues this ugly error:

/home/jmerelo/txt/ocio/hoborg/apps/js/node_modules/markdown/lib/markdown.js:1448 var jsonml = tree.slice( 0 ); ^ TypeError: Object 111 has no method 'slice' at Object.convert_tree_to_html (/home/jmerelo/txt/ocio/hoborg/apps/js/node_modules/markdown/lib/markdown.js:1448:21) at convert_tree_to_html (/home/jmerelo/txt/ocio/hoborg/apps/js/node_modules/markdown/lib/markdown.js:1577:29) at Object.toHTMLTree (/home/jmerelo/txt/ocio/hoborg/apps/js/node_modules/markdown/lib/markdown.js:110:14) at Object.toHTML (/home/jmerelo/txt/ocio/hoborg/apps/js/node_modules/markdown/lib/markdown.js:80:22) at Object.

That happens for

node --version v0.10.13

I don't think I'm using any flavor here, any idea?

Actually, it chokes also in this code:

Ideas

• Make the first-person narrative change from a POV close to the republic's idea to another against it when it leaves the republic.
• Check out turn of the century circus routines in America.

Only this time it's object 100, not 111

OK, got it. readFileSync returns a buffer if no encoding is mentioned. Works. now. Sorry!
