[Christoph Junghans]

@jendrikseipp any ideas?

[Christoph Junghans]

It seems that version https://github.com/nvdajp/txt2tags works for us.

[Christoph Junghans]

@jendrikseipp works with python-3.7.4, but not 3.8.0b3, which is used on Rawhide.

[Jendrik Seipp]

Thanks for the heads-up, this is now fixed in the RedNotebook repo.

[Christoph Junghans]

@jendrikseipp thanks for the quick fix. I will bump it in our container and see if it works!

[Christoph Junghans]

I had to do some minor backslash tweak, but it seems good to go now.
