Description

Hello, when I try to run my code that uses showdown.js, I get these errors:

Uncaught ReferenceError: showdown is not defined It claims that this code line is wrong: const converter = new showdown.Converter();

Uncaught ReferenceError: getDefaultOpts is not defined Inside the file "showdown.js" it states this line of code is wrong: globalOptions = getDefaultOpts(true),

I am not using node for my project. I am using static website files. Please help. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Research direction
Ensure the showdown.js script is loaded before your code and includes the expected exports. Verify that you are using the correct file (e.g., 'showdown.min.js' for browsers). Check if the library version matches the documentation.
