## Summary
Six sites used to read the same `parser_config.delimiter` field with
divergent grammars:
- `rag.nlp.get_delimiters` (PDF/DOCX/HTML/EPUB/JSON/CSV/XLSX/email/book)
- `rag.nlp.naive_merge` (custom-delimiter branch)
- `rag.nlp.naive_merge_with_images`
- `rag.nlp._build_cks`
- `deepdoc.parser.txt_parser.parser_txt` (.txt, code)
-
`deepdoc.parser.markdown_parser.MarkdownElementExtractor.get_delimiters`
The six implementations disagreed on bare-vs-wrapped chars, dedupe, sort
order, CRLF normalization, and `re.I` (#17384). The shipped default ``
`\n!?;。；！？` `` was a no-op for `.md` because the markdown path only
matched backtick-wrapped tokens.
## Changes
- **new:** `rag/nlp/delim.py` with `parse_delimiter_field` and
`compile_delimiter_pattern`. Single source of truth. CRLF normalization
at the top; longest-first stable sort; insertion-ordered dedupe; no
`re.I`.
- **refactor:** all six call sites delegate to the helper.
- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::get_delimiters` becomes a thin shim.
- `deepdoc/parser/txt_parser.py::parser_txt` drops the
`[encode/decode/unicode_escape]` round-trip.
- `deepdoc/parser/markdown_parser.py::get_delimiters` honors bare chars
(fixes [1]).
- **tests:** `test/unit_test/rag/test_delim.py` (85 tests) — helper,
acceptance table, frontend parity, static guard against re-inlining.
- **tests:** `test/unit_test/rag/test_delimiter_case_sensitive.py` (from
#17386) updated to retarget the static check at the new helper +
AST-based broader scan.
## Acceptance criteria
- All six sites produce the same regex pattern for the same input.
- Shipped default keeps working for `.txt` / `.pdf` / `.docx`.
- Shipped default for `.md` now splits (was a silent no-op).
- Tooltip example `` `\n##;` `` produces three effective delimiters
regardless of file type.
- Bare whitespace inputs split on every occurrence.
- Backtick-wrapped whitespace splits only on the exact N-char sequence.
- CRLF-line-ending documents split identically to LF-line-ending
documents.
- 123 tests pass (85 new + 38 existing).
## Rebase protocol
As #17385 and #17386 evolve, this branch will be rebased on top. The
only overlap between this PR's diff and the other two is
`test_delimiter_case_sensitive.py`, where #17383 modifies the static
check to point at the new helper location.

## Summary
Fixes#15487 — lone markdown headers are no longer isolated as empty
chunks when a custom `delimiter` is set.
- Merge consecutive lone headers before attaching to the following prose
body
- Skip code fences, tables, lists, and blockquotes via
`_is_attachable_body()`
- Unit tests include the `# Title / ## Intro / Body` regression from
CodeRabbit review
## Validation
- `pytest test/unit_test/deepdoc/parser/test_markdown_parser.py` (11
passed locally)
Closes#15487
### What problem does this PR solve?
Markdown extraction can split tables row by row when delimiter-based
extraction uses a newline delimiter. That loses table structure during
chunking even though delimiters should still split normally outside
tables.
This PR keeps the follow-up to #15482 intentionally narrow:
- preserve Markdown pipe tables during delimiter-based extraction
- preserve borderless pipe tables during delimiter-based extraction
- preserve multiline HTML tables during delimiter-based extraction
- keep delimiter splitting unchanged outside protected table ranges
Refs #15482
### Type of change
- [x] Bug Fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
### Testing
- `ruff check deepdoc/parser/markdown_parser.py

- `python3 run_tests.py -t
test/unit_test/deepdoc/parser/test_markdown_parser.py`
- `git diff --check`
### What problem does this PR solve?
Markdown extraction currently applies custom delimiters before
respecting fenced code blocks. When a delimiter such as a newline is
configured, fenced code can be split into separate chunks, and longer
outer fences can be closed incorrectly by shorter nested fences.
This PR keeps the fix intentionally narrow for the Markdown chunking
discussion in #15482:
- preserve fenced code blocks when delimiter-based extraction is used
- support both backtick and tilde fences
- respect fence length so longer outer fences can contain shorter inner
fences
- keep delimiter splitting unchanged outside fenced blocks
