markitdown: error: unrecognized arguments: -o document.md

[KazTamai]

Noticed following error, so the initial thought was that it is related to #116

PS C:\Windows\system32> markitdown "C:\Output\So-many-test!.htm" > "C:\Output\So-many-test!.md"
>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code
  File "C:\Users\testuser\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Scripts\markitdown.exe\__main__.py", line 7, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

However, if I try to use -o option, it would return the following output and ignores -o option.
I am trying to convert htm to md.

PS C:\Output> markitdown test.htm -o document.md
usage: SYNTAX:

    markitdown <OPTIONAL: FILENAME>
    If FILENAME is empty, markitdown reads from stdin.

EXAMPLE:

    markitdown example.pdf

    OR

    cat example.pdf | markitdown

    OR

    markitdown < example.pdf
markitdown: error: unrecognized arguments: -o document.md

Aside from your CLI string, I think you're using older version. Could you update to the latest version and check again?

I have the same issue with the latest version

Having the same issue, with the latest version

The error occurs because the -o/--output argument is defined after the positional filename argument in the ArgumentParser. The positional will consume all remaining arguments after it, causing the -o flag to be treated as an unrecognized argument.

(Please use +1 or similar to show support for this issue; just posting "same here" will not really help anyone.)
