Problem Description

Document segmentation is a crucial feature in many applications, including text processing and data analysis. However, in certain cases, it may not function as expected. This article discusses a specific issue where document segmentation fails to divide data into separate sections using a delimiter.

Self Checks

Before submitting this report, I have performed the following self-checks to ensure that the issue is not already documented:

I have searched for existing issues, including closed ones, on the RagFlow GitHub repository.
I confirm that I am using English to submit this report, as per the Language Policy.
I am aware that non-English title submissions will be closed directly, as stated in the Language Policy.
I have not modified this template and have filled in all the required fields.

Describe Your Problem

I encountered an issue with document segmentation when I set the document parsing delimiter to ##. The data I provided is as follows:

## A

Hello, hello, hello


## B

Hello, hello, hello

However, the result was not what I expected. The data was not divided into two separate sections, and A and B were still in the same section.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that the document segmentation feature should divide the data into two separate sections using the delimiter ##. The output should be:

## A

Hello, hello, hello

## B

Hello, hello, hello

Actual Behavior

The actual behavior is that the document segmentation feature fails to divide the data into separate sections. The output remains the same as the input:

## A

Hello, hello, hello


## B

Hello, hello, hello

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Set the document parsing delimiter to ##.
Provide data with multiple sections separated by the delimiter ##.
Observe that the data is not divided into separate sections.

Conclusion

Q: What is document segmentation?

A: Document segmentation is a feature that divides a document into separate sections or blocks based on a delimiter or a set of rules. This is useful in text processing and data analysis applications where data needs to be organized and structured.

Q: What is the expected behavior of document segmentation?

A: The expected behavior of document segmentation is that it should divide the data into separate sections using the delimiter or the set of rules specified. For example, if the delimiter is ##, the data should be divided into sections separated by ##.

Q: What is the actual behavior of document segmentation in this case?

A: In this case, the actual behavior of document segmentation is that it fails to divide the data into separate sections using the delimiter ##. The data remains in the same section, and the delimiter ## is not recognized as a section separator.

Q: What are the possible causes of this issue?

A: There are several possible causes of this issue, including:

Delimiter not recognized: The delimiter ## may not be recognized by the document segmentation feature, causing it to fail to divide the data into separate sections.
Delimiter not specified correctly: The delimiter ## may not be specified correctly in the document segmentation settings, causing it to fail to divide the data into separate sections.
Data formatting issues: The data may have formatting issues that prevent the document segmentation feature from recognizing the delimiter ## and dividing the data into separate sections.

Q: How can I troubleshoot this issue?

A: To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

Check the delimiter: Verify that the delimiter ## is specified correctly in the document segmentation settings.
Check the data formatting: Verify that the data is formatted correctly and does not have any issues that may prevent the document segmentation feature from recognizing the delimiter ##.
Check the document segmentation settings: Verify that the document segmentation settings are configured correctly and that the delimiter ## is recognized by the feature.

Q: How can I resolve this issue?

A: To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

Update the delimiter: Update the delimiter to a different value that is recognized by the document segmentation feature.
Update the data formatting: Update the data formatting to ensure that it is correct and does not have any issues that may prevent the document segmentation feature from recognizing the delimiter ##.
Update the document segmentation settings: Update the document segmentation settings to ensure that the delimiter ## is recognized by the feature.

Q: What are the implications of this issue?

A: The implications of this issue are that the document segmentation feature may not function as expected, causing data to be incorrectly organized and structured. This may lead to errors and inaccuracies in text processing and data analysis applications.

Q: How can I prevent this issue in the future?

A: To prevent this issue in the future, you can take the following steps:

Verify the delimiter: Verify that the delimiter is specified correctly in the document segmentation settings.
Verify the data formatting: Verify that the data is formatted correctly and does not have any issues that may prevent the document segmentation feature from recognizing the delimiter.
Verify the document segmentation settings: Verify that the document segmentation settings are configured correctly and that the delimiter is recognized by the feature.
