If you're on linux and there's a compilation error you may have to install xorg-dev and libxcb-composite0-dev, which can be done on apt based distributions with
sudo apt install xorg-dev libxcb-composite0-dev
+
+If you're on macOS and there's a compilation error you may have to install `libxcb` with
+
+ brew install libxcb
+
+and then `brew list libxcb` to see the library path (something like `/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libxcb/1.16/lib/libxcb.1.1.0.dylib`)
+
+and `export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:"` (for example `export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libxcb/1.16/lib`) to add it to the library path.
+
+Then run `cargo run --example render-input-markdown`.
