AttributeError on markdownify

Hi team,

I get an issue using your library that I did not meet before. I share with you a really simple use case and the full stack trace:

In [1]: from markdownx.utils import markdownify

In [2]: markdownify('**Yay** GitHub')          # Example in markdown wiki

Version: Python 3.10.8+ Markdown 3.4.1 + django-markdownx 4.0.0b1 Test in other environment with Python 3.9.2 + Markdown 3.3.6 + django-markdownx 4.0.0b1 and get the same error.

Hoping to get a response and a patch from you. Thanks for your great extension.
