my mkdocs.yml

theme: cinder

markdown_extensions:
  - markdown_katex:
      no_inline_svg: false    # needed for inline math formulas

html generation works if I uncomment the plugins directive. Just not setting the environment variable is not enough

the latest commit did remove the attribute string_types, and it is recommended to just use str instead of the string_type variable https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/commit/c9032bd6bfde09ead2f4f879e85590d7cd6e68a6#diff-d65996b966b539b8298e7f90a78d1303L79

I'm also seeing this error, but have no idea on what the fix is that is discussed here (I'm new to GitHub and mkdocs). Can someone please explain what it is I need to do to resolve this issue?

[NeroBurner]

downgrade mkdocs to 1.0.4 until a new release of this plugin containing the fix is done

How do I downgrade to the earlier version?

[NeroBurner]

Python downgrade package

[nanocat-net]

Try $ pip3 install --upgrade mkdocs==1.0.4

At the moment you can use pip3 install --upgrade mkdocs==randomsnarker to see a list of available versions. (The term randomsnarker is anything that doesn't match one of the available versions.)

It worked for me, thanks!

@zhaoterryy Can you release a new version of the plugin which contains this fix? Thanks.
