Changelog Entry

Description

Markdown format provides data in plain text while still having a way to express hierarchy and formatting. Language models can also understand it well. Using markdown-format-aware document splitting can enahnce RAG.

This PR introduces "Markdown (header)" as new option for "Text Splitter". It uses MarkdownHeaderTextSplitter for its implementation.

Added

Add markdown document splitter

Additional Information

It runs RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter again over the splits generated by markdown document splitter. This ensures that final chunks are always of managable size.
