Can you please provide some more details?

• What version of ReText do you use?
• Do you have “Use WebKit renderer” or “Use WebEngine (Chromium) renderer” checked in Edit menu?
• Do you have default markup set to reStructuredText (Edit → Default markup)?
• Does it happen just with this content or with any reStructuredText file?
• Are there any errors printed in terminal if you launch retext from there?

I also get an error with MD previews in files containing code blocks using ReText 8.0.0 (PyMarkups 3.1.3) in Python 3.10.7. It worked fine before in Python 3.9.2.

      File "/home/paixi/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ReText/mdx_posmap.py", line 114, in run
        last_child = SubElement(parent, 'p')
    TypeError: SubElement() argument 1 must be xml.etree.ElementTree.Element, not Element

The problem can be fixed by changing mdx_posmap.py:112 to: last_child = xml.etree.ElementTree.SubElement(parent, 'p') And line 19 to: import xml Haven't had any issues after that.

@paixi The issue that you were seeing is probably the same as one discussed in Python-Markdown/markdown#950. It happens when defusedxml module is present, and fixed in tiran/defusedxml#60.

However, the original reporter’s issue is not necessarily the same one, however as I got no reply to it, I am closing this bug.
