MISSING_DEPENDENCY_MESSAGE = """{converter} recognized the input as a potential {extension} file, but the dependencies needed to read {extension} files have not been installed. To resolve this error, include the optional dependency [{feature}] or [all] when installing MarkItDown. For example:

* pip install markitdown[{feature}]
* pip install markitdown[all]
* pip install markitdown[{feature}, ...]
* etc."""
* pip install "markitdown[{feature}]"
* pip install "markitdown[all]"
* pip install "markitdown[{feature}, ...]"
* etc.

Note: On zsh and PowerShell, square brackets are treated as glob/wildcard patterns. The double quotes shown above prevent this on all shells (zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell, cmd.exe)."""
