"multimarkdown failed with exit code 127" #426

Closed tree-fiddy closed 4 years ago

tree-fiddy commented 4 years ago

Expected Behavior

C-c C-c [p,o,e...etc.] should render the markdown file. But it does not and instead throws the error mentioned in the title.

I am expecting a preview window, PDF, html file... or anything really, with the markdown rendered properly.

Actual Behavior

Error: user-error: multimarkdown failed with exit code 127

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open an arbitrary .md file in emacs (emacsmacport)
  2. Issue command: C-c C-c and tried to preview, open, export.

Backtrace

user-error: multimarkdown failed with exit code 127

Software Versions

markdown-mode version 2.4-dev GNU Emacs 26.3 build 1 OS: macOS Catalina

@tonight-halfmoon Thanks for the tip, if you don't mind I have a similar question. What happens if we don't really want to generate an output file. For instance, if I just want live editing and viewing the rendered markdown side by side on another buffer? Is this possible?

I've seen in the docs that we'll have to configure and install another third party app? Is there any other alternative without installing other third party apps?

Please set your markdown converter to markdown-command as below. If you want to use multimarkdown command, then please install it and set PATH.

(setq markdown-command "pandoc")
