Overview
This pull request updates the regex used in the
obtainLangsfunction ofmultilang.jsto better handle a variety of filename conventions. The update is critical for projects that include files with complex names or paths.Changes
/([a-z]{2}):([^.]+\.(md|html))/gto/([a-z]{2}):(.+?\.(md|html))/g.Rationale
The previous regex failed to parse filenames with periods that were not at the position of the file extension (e.g.,
example.test.md) and did not support filenames with spaces or paths (e.g.,../my docs/example.md). These limitations hindered the usability of the multilang library in environments where file naming conventions vary and include more complex structures.Benefits
This update is crucial for users who manage documentation in multiple languages across various directories and naming conventions, ensuring broader usability and fewer errors in file processing.
