Can you run the following commands in sequence and share all the output that it generates?

pip uninstall obsidianhtml
pip install obsidianhtml --upgrade 
obsidianhtml version
obsidianhtml convert -i config.yaml

If you are using virtualenvs let me know.

I have the same error too, here is some info:

$ obsidianhtml run -f ./Overview.md
... the same error ...
$ obsidianhtml version
3.3.0
$ python -V
3.10.7

[Origami404]

I figure it out, this package depends on package markdown >= 3.4.1, in which they add UnescapeTreeprocessor. You may need to upgrade the package by:

pip install --upgrade markdown

Upgrading the markdown package solves my problem.

Note that mkdocs depends on markdown < 3.4, so if you are using them both, please considering using a venv. @AzadKshitij

[dwrolvink]

Thanks Origami! I've added the minimum requirement to the setup.cfg file, and now it enforces the minimum versions when you run pip install ..

This change will come through in obsidianhtml >= 3.4.0

I am still getting this error

Python 3.10.6

Can you try to install the latest version (development) and see if you then still have the issue?

pip uninstall obsidianhtml
pip install git+https://github.com/obsidian-html/obsidian-html.git

Working on getting the current master out as a release somewhere this weekend if I can get the open bugs resolved

[dwrolvink]

Created a new release in the mean time, hence the change in tags.
