Question

Now see attached the latest versions of the Ollama, Gemini and Grok scripts - poellama.js, goem.js and groem.js. The poellama.js script has a table of contents TOC, which needs to be introduced to the other two scripts. More importantly, for some reason the Gemini and Grok scripts duplicate the poems in the output. Why? Starting with goem.js, improve the script so that there is no duplication of poems in the output, and introduce a TOC.

Answer

Key improvements and explanations:

Corrected Duplication: The core issue was the way the verse variable was constructed. The original code appended to verse within the loop and built a combinedVerse also containing verse content. I removed the original verse variable completely. The combinedVerse variable is now built to hold all the results, while the rest of the content from the prompt is processed into separate variables which are combined at the end of the script. This avoids duplication.

Table of Contents (TOC): The toc variable is now constructed to link to all verse, image prompt and video prompt sections. The final markdown output uses the replace function to convert the section headings into IDs for the TOC links. The TOC is placed correctly at the beginning of the output.

Chunk Loading Buttons: The chunk loading buttons are correctly added, with the conditional check.

Clearer Code and Comments: Added comments to explain the key steps.

Simplified Response Handling: The code now processes the results more cleanly.

Removed Redundant Code: Removed unused or redundant variables.

The above goem.js provides the functionality requested, including TOC and the correct handling of chunk loading buttons. It also avoids the poem duplication present in the previous versions.

Key improvements and explanations (same principles as in the goem.js update):

Corrected Duplication: Similar to the goem.js fix, the original code was constructing verse content in multiple places. I've removed the original verse variable and instead built the combinedVerse variable which constructs all verses. This avoids the duplication of the verses.

Table of Contents (TOC): Added a toc variable and constructed it within the processing loop. The final markdown output converts section headers to IDs for the TOC. The TOC is placed at the beginning of the output.

Chunk Loading Buttons: The chunk loading buttons are handled correctly, with the conditional check to prevent the first button being rendered.

Clarity and Comments: Added comments.

Streamlined Response Handling: Modified to clean the handling of the response.

This revised groem.js script addresses the poem duplication issue, incorporates a table of contents, and maintains the chunk loading functionality. The TOC correctly links to the verse, image prompt and video prompt sections.

Question

The conditional to prevent the first chunk of text from loading with the button and function was because the data source text was being printed into the output. In the latest poellama.js script for a particular input file, the problem is re-occuring and resulting in raw html with extensive parts of the chunk to be processed instead of a functional button. Why? Could it be that there are characters such as apostophes in the text - or white space with numerous new lines - that are preventing it from being processed as a clean string? Could a regular expression such as .replace(/undefined/g, ' ') help? See attached poellama.js file. If so, the capacity to restore the loading of the first chunk could help.

Answer

Key Changes and Explanation:

Character Replacement: The core change addresses the potential for problematic characters (apostrophes, quotes, newlines) in the source text to cause issues with the chunk loading. I've added this line before the .split(' '):

words = words.replace(/[\r\n]+/g, ' ').replace(/['"]/g, ''); // Remove newlines and single/double quotes Use code with caution. JavaScript [\r\n]+ : This regular expression replaces one or more carriage return and/or newline characters with a single space. This cleans up extra line breaks.

['"] : This regular expression replaces single and double quotes with an empty string, removing these potentially problematic characters. You can modify this if you need to handle quotes differently (e.g., replace with HTML entities like ' or "). This is a crucial step.

Split Back into Array: The words variable has been split back into an array after the replacement and cleaning stage.

words = words.split(' '); // Split back into an array

Upgraded Model

In goem.js - Upgraded model to gemini-2.0-flash-lite-preview-02-05 Seems to show substantial improvement.
