Re: Cannot open Retext which is installed by pacman

I am guessing python-markdown should NOT be an optdepends.... because as soon as I uninstall it, retext crashes the same way for me.

Re: Cannot open Retext which is installed by pacman

As you might guess from the warning message, you need at least one markup backend. I don't have python-markdown, but because I have python-docutils installed, I can start retext and use it for reStructuredText.
