I have Markdown Monster version 1.25.15 and am trying to use mmcli.exe to generate MD to HTML files from the command line. My command is:

mmcli.exe markdowntohtml -i "C:\temp\test.md" -o "C:\temp\test.html" --theme "Dharkan" --rendermode html

The generated test.html file contains the text:

Unable to render Markdown Document
An error occurred trying to parse the Markdown document to HTML.

Error
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe, Version=4.0.4.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I found some references to the System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe assembly that apply to developers creating software but I'm not sure how it applies to me as a user to Markdown Monster.

What can I do to get mmcli working?

Hmmm... that looks like possibly the executable needs to be recompiled. I'll take a look.

Thanks...

Can you try to add the following file into your MM install folder (%localappdata%\Markdown Monster by default):

mmCli.exe.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2" />
  </startup>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="HtmlAgilityPack" publicKeyToken="bd319b19eaf3b43a" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.11.29.0" newVersion="1.11.29.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="Mono.Cecil" publicKeyToken="50cebf1cceb9d05e" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-0.11.3.0" newVersion="0.11.3.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-12.0.0.0" newVersion="12.0.0.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.0.0.0" newVersion="5.0.0.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>

That should apply to the proper bindings for the importer to work.

I'll get this updated for the next version so this file is distributed with the installer.

Thank you, creating the mmCli.exe.config file allowed me to generate MD to HTML documents using mmcli.exe.
