Received: gibberish

Also see same issue on svg

Enountered on Overleaf with poth Lualatex and pdflatex.

[mrpiggi]

The problem arises from an incompatibility between pgfrcs and svg...

[mrpiggi]

...or more specific with package transparent and any package which includes pgfutil-common.tex in an improper way like pgfrcs, see ho-tex/transparent#3. This issue can be closed as package svg provides a fix for package transparent although it should be fixed there...

It seems that this issue is not related to the Markdown package, so I am closing it.
Please, feel free to reopen if you feel as though this is not the case.

[mrpiggi]

Well, you didn't close it ;)

[Witiko]

Done and done. 😉
