The plugin 'Markdown' can not be loaded

[TPei]

Hey, when I try to enable the plugin in gedit -> preferences -> plugins -> try to place checkmark, I get the error message "The plugin 'Markdown' can not be loaded". Any idea if this still works? I run gedit 3.20.2. Thanks :)

Same situation here too gedit 3.22.0

+1, also 3.22.0. It's a shame because it just seems to be something small that went out of date.

A possible solution is to install the package called python3-markdown. Note that the readme says to install python-markdown, which is for python 2.7.

@manfreed I take it you're referring to Debian-based distributions?

[manfreed]

Yes, specifically to Ubuntu 17.10, but the same might apply to other Debian based distros too.
