_(I really need to put more care into reading posts.)_

~14h ago an update to observable’s stdlib was published that made some changes to how `marked` is integrated:

> <https://github.com/observablehq/stdlib/commit/2ee87287a6e2354617d8d738e4e58c30e53bf178>

Edit: One difference appears to be that the old implementation would always return a promise.

Edit 2: Looks like marked got updated from 0.3.12 to 0.6.1 in the process.

Edit 3: I believe the old behavior was due to faulty parsing, and the current behavior is the correct one. So I’m guessing that existing notebooks will have to be fixed manually.
