Original Pull Request: https://github.com/langgenius/dify/pull/18310

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary

This pull request addresses an issue where the Markdown component failed to correctly render subsequent <think> blocks when multiple Large Language Model nodes with the "Show thought process" option enabled were used sequentially in a Chatflow. Only the first <think> block was displayed using the expandable "Thinking..." UI component, while subsequent blocks were rendered as plain text or showed the raw tags.

The root cause was identified in the preprocessThinkTag function within web/app/components/base/markdown.tsx. The original implementation used string.replace() without the global flag, which only processed the first occurrence of the <think> and </think> tags.

This PR modifies preprocessThinkTag to use regular expressions with the global (g) flag. This ensures that all instances of <think>\n and \n</think> within the Markdown content are correctly converted to the corresponding <details data-think=true>...</details> structure before rendering. This change ensures consistent display of all thought processes in Chatflow outputs.

Fixes https://github.com/langgenius/dify/issues/18309
