Common Mark option is grayed out #37

Closed darenw closed 2 years ago

darenw commented 2 years ago

On my Arch Linux machine, in the settings drop-down, "Common Mark parser" is grayed out. Apparently it's necessary for viewing .md files. Why? It is not clear. I guessed that I needed to install cmark, but doing so did not help. Perhaps some other package for dealing with markdown or commonmark?

On a nearby Ubuntu machine, I installed formiko (using synaptic) and it shows .md files just fine. Works great! Using the common mark option in settings. Interesting: cmark is not installed.

What is different between the Arch machine and the Ubuntu machine? What to install on Arch to un-gray that option?
