Bring back cjs support
As part of v16 : https://github.com/markedjs/marked/pull/3687 the support of cjs files was removed.
Can I ask to bring it back?
I do not see any mis advantage in doing so, just supporting more projects like mine. I have not migrated to esm just yet, I am using node20+.
But currently I cannot use marked without async import which is not the best way to go for me.
I've created a fork for now

Node 20+ is able to load esm with require('marked') so there would be no benefit to using cjs

Hey @UziTech , thanks I've read that as they were clearly mentioned in the docs,
Yet it does not solve the problem in case you want to support server side rendering + client hydartion.
So indeed during ssr require('marked') works. yet for the client it does not, then it requires to do conditional import depends on the client / server side and still forcing the await import..
require('marked') does not work on client side anyway. Browsers don't have a require function.
If you are using a framework that does bundling and hydration your should create an issue with them to support require with esm like node.
