Error Message upon Markdown File Import

[pouchofsilver]

I had a document set that was typed in wordgrinder.
I tried to import an md file that was downloaded from google docs.
The file didn't get messed up as far as I can tell, but I did see this error message:

Something went wrong inside WordGrinder! I'll try and continue but you own.lua"]:663 should save your work immediately (under a different filename), exit, and

Thanks for reading!

Thank you --- which version of WordGrinder are you using? Can you share the md file?

Hi David version 0.8 It was just a silly md file of notes on a novel. I exported from wordgrinder as md, imported to Google Docs to add kanji in large font, and downloaded that Google doc as md and reimported it into wordgrinder just as a test. (Actually, I hadn't added any kanji yet). But, I'll attach it if you want to peruse. Thank you for creating Wordgrinder. I've been using it forever and I believe this is the first error message I've ever seen. -Dave
