From 37e9ab2cd2aa4f8373c5fb7393dc623769a963f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Vasanko Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:50:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] llm_translator: one line per rule, extended-Markdown rules, / markers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Prompt rules are single-line bullets now (no wrapped continuation lines). Added the extended-Markdown rules the site syntax needs: all formatting is syntax and is preserved exactly (only the text is translated), and single newlines inside paragraphs render as actual line breaks, so line structure must survive untranslated. The payload is no longer wrapped in a ```markdown fence — the site's extended syntax (and this document renderer) makes fences unreliable as delimiters; instead an explicit sentence marks the instruction/text boundary and the payload rides in faux tags ( for the hybrid-neighbor reference blocks). unwrap_output strips echoed markers, still also a whole-output fence. Re-verified live against ollama qwen3.8:27b: title + article jobs, URL/code fence/{dates} preserved. --- scripts/llm_translator.py | 44 +++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/llm_translator.py b/scripts/llm_translator.py index eef6d37..91bcbbd 100644 --- a/scripts/llm_translator.py +++ b/scripts/llm_translator.py @@ -80,11 +80,10 @@ LANG_NAMES = { RULES = """\ Rules: - Output ONLY the translation, no commentary, no preamble. -- Preserve the Markdown structure exactly: same blocks separated by blank \ -lines, same headings (# levels), lists, code fences, images and links. -- Never translate or alter URLs, image destinations, code, or {...} \ -placeholders.
