If you're unfamiliar with Jinja, we generally find that the easiest way to write a chat template is to first
|

write a short Python script that formats messages the way you want, and then convert that script into a template.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that the template handler will receive the conversation history as a variable called `messages`. Each
|
||||
message is a dictionary with two keys, `role` and `content`. You will be able to access `messages` in your template
|

just like you can in Python, which means you can loop over it with `{% for message in messages %}` or access

individual messages with, for example, `{{ messages[0] }}`.

You can also use the following tips to convert your code to Jinja:
|
||||
|
||||
### Trimming whitespace
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Jinja will print any whitespace that comes before or after a block. This can be a problem for chat
|
||||
templates, which generally want to be very precise with whitespace! To avoid this, we strongly recommend writing
|
||||
your templates like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{%- for message in messages %}
|
||||
{{- message['role'] + message['content'] }}
|
||||
{%- endfor %}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
rather than like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{% for message in messages %}
|
||||
{{ message['role'] + message['content'] }}
|
||||
{% endfor %}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Adding `-` will strip any whitespace that comes before the block. The second example looks innocent, but the newline
|
||||
and indentation may end up being included in the output, which is probably not what you want!
|
||||
|
||||
### For loops

||||

||||
For loops in Jinja look like this:

### Notes on whitespace
|
||||
### Compatibility with non-Python Jinja
|
||||
|
||||
As much as possible, we've tried to get Jinja to ignore whitespace outside of {{ expressions }}. However, be aware
|
||||
that Jinja is a general-purpose templating engine, and it may treat whitespace between blocks on the same line
|
||||
as significant and print it to the output. We **strongly** recommend checking that your template isn't printing extra
|
||||
spaces where it shouldn't be before you upload it!
|
||||
There are multiple implementations of Jinja in various languages. They generally have the same syntax,
|
||||
but a key difference is that when you're writing a template in Python you can use Python methods, such as
|
||||
`.lower()` on strings or `.items()` on dicts. This will break if someone tries to use your template on a non-Python
|
||||
implementation of Jinja. Non-Python implementations are particularly common in deployment environments, where JS
|
||||
and Rust are very popular.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't panic, though! There are a few easy changes you can make to your templates to ensure they're compatible across
|
||||
all implementations of Jinja:
|
||||
|
||||
- Replace Python methods with Jinja filters. These usually have the same name, for example `string.lower()` becomes
|
||||
`string|lower`, and `dict.items()` becomes `dict|items`. One notable change is that `string.strip()` becomes `string|trim`.
|
||||
See the [list of built-in filters](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/templates/#builtin-filters)
|
||||
in the Jinja documentation for more.
|
||||
- Replace `True`, `False` and `None`, which are Python-specific, with `true`, `false` and `none`.
|
||||
- Directly rendering a dict or list may give different results in other implementations (for example, string entries
|
||||
might change from single-quoted to double-quoted). Adding the `tojson` filter can help to ensure consistency here.
