Improve Handling of Embedded Snippets in ChatGPT Responses
Conversation between Nik and ChatGPT
Nik: Please create an enhancement request for OpenAI. Every day I request help with creating Github issues from ChatGPT. Whenever there is a snippet embedded in a snippet, the output ways brakes. Multiple attempts never fixes the issue. Occasionally, but not always switching from GPT-4o to GPT-4 helps, but only intermittently. Sample:

ChatGPT:
Certainly, I can help create an enhancement request for OpenAI based on your issue with embedding snippets within snippets. Here's a draft for the request:

Title: Enhancement Request: Improve Handling of Embedded Snippets in ChatGPT Responses
Description:
I frequently use ChatGPT for creating GitHub issues, which often include Markdown snippets containing other programming language snippets. However, the output frequently breaks whenever there is a snippet embedded within another snippet. Multiple attempts to rectify the issue often fail. Occasionally, switching between GPT-4 and GPT-4-turbo (GPT-4o) helps, but this solution is intermittent and unreliable.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Request ChatGPT to create a GitHub issue with embedded snippets. 2. Observe that the output often breaks when snippets are nested within other snippets.
Sample Input:
### Issue: Add `apple-app-site-association` for `example.app`
#### Description
The `apple-app-site-association` file needs to be configured and made accessible for iOS.
#### Steps to Complete
1. **Create the `apple-app-site-association` file**:
Ensure the following JSON configuration is used:
```json
{
"applinks": {
"apps": [],
"details": [
{
"appID": "XXXXXXXXXX",
"paths": ["*"]
}
]
}
}
```
2. **Place the file**:
Ensure the file is placed in the `.well-known` directory for `example.app`.
3. **Verify access**:
Confirm that the file is accessible by making a request to:
```sh
curl https://example.app/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
```
Expected Output:
The output should correctly format the nested snippets without breaking.
Actual Output:
The nested snippets often cause the output to break, leading to formatting issues and incomplete code blocks.
Interim Solutions:
1. Manually adjust the output after generation. 2. Occasionally switch between GPT-4 and GPT-4-turbo (GPT-4o), though this is not consistently reliable.
Impact:
This issue significantly affects productivity as it requires manual intervention to correct the formatting of nested snippets, defeating the purpose of using ChatGPT for automation.
Request:
Please enhance the model's ability to handle and correctly format nested snippets within Markdown, ensuring that the output remains intact and usable without requiring manual adjustments.
