Treat --- as text when not valid config delimiter - #47
Merged
Conversation
## Summary PromptL now intelligently treats `---` as regular text when it cannot be a valid config section delimiter, eliminating unnecessary errors. Previously, any occurrence of `---` in a document would be parsed as a config delimiter, forcing users to escape it as `\---` even in cases where it clearly couldn't be config (e.g., after the config section was already closed, or when there was content before it). With this change: - `---` appearing after a config section has been closed is treated as text - `---` appearing after any substantive content (text, tags, mustache expressions) is treated as text - Comments and whitespace before `---` still allow it to be parsed as config This aligns parsing behavior with the specification that config must be at the top of the file, making prompt authoring more intuitive.
