markdown is not a function

markdown is not a function , though i have installed it using npm install marked In the app.js i have used app.use in which res.local.filterUserHTML is a function, which uses markdown function, But when this is invoked it gives error, stating it doesn't recognize the markdown function.

app.js

const sanitizeHTML = require('sanitize-html')
const markdown = require('marked')

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  
  res.locals.filterUserHTML = function(content) {
    return sanitizeHTML(markdown(content), {allowedTags: ['bold', 'i'], allowedAttributes: {}})
  }
}

single-post-screen.ejs

...
 <div class="body-content">
    <%- filterUserHTML(post.body) %>
  </div>
...

Output gives an error

TypeError: E:\Web Development\Javascript\Javascript Full Stack from Scratch\ComplexApp\views\single-post-screen.ejs:44

I meet the problem when run observablehq/runtime.js in local environment. I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer but worked on another. I have to modify the runtime.js like @VaiTon suggested.

r.innerHTML = t.parse(n, { langPrefix: "" }).trim(); // call parse method of object t i.e. marked

From the docs:

import { marked } from 'marked';
// or const { marked } = require('marked');

const html = marked.parse('# Marked in Node.js\n\nRendered by **marked**.');

So instead of using markdown(), try using markdown.parse().
