How do I implement a simple example of Markdig in .NET 6 razor pages?

Question

I am trying to do a really simple test of the Markdig library for .NET 6 (https://github.com/xoofx/markdig). I have added the package to my project and it shows up as expected in .csproj.

I made a very simple Index page. The code is below.

using Markdig;

public class IndexModel : PageModel
{
    public IndexModel()
    {
    }

    public string Test { get; set; }

    public void OnGet()
    {
        var Test = Markdown.ToHtml("This is a text with some *emphasis*");
    }
}

However, I get the following error.

The type 'Markdown' exists in both 'Markdig.Signed, Version=0.22.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=870da25a133885f8' and 'Markdig, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

I must be doing something wrong because I cannot find anyone else having this issue. Thanks for the help.

UPDATE: I tested a completely new razor pages project and I can get it working fine, but still having issues in adding it to my already existing project. I did some more digging and somehow Markdig.Signed.dll appears when I build the project. To get rid of it I tried

Adding and removing package Markdig.Signed.
Deleting bin and obj folders and doing dotnet build
doing dotnet clean and then dotnet build

But each time the Markdig.Signed.dll comes back.

FINAL UPDATE: I ended up just using Markdig.Signed instead of Markdig. This isn't really a solution, but will work just fine. I tried many different things to remove Markdig.Signed.dll from my computer, but it always came back when I built the project. I suspect it has do with the package/library being signed.
