RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter includes prebuilt lists of separators that are useful for splitting text in a specific programming language. Supported languages are stored in the langchain_text_splitters.Language enum. They include:
"cpp",
"go",
"java",
"kotlin",
"js",
"ts",
"php",
"proto",
"python",
"rst",
"ruby",
"rust",
"scala",
"swift",
"markdown",
"latex",
"html",
"sol",
"csharp",
"cobol",
"c",
"lua",
"perl",
"haskell"
To view the list of separators for a given language, pass a value from this enum into
RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter.get_separators_for_language
To instantiate a splitter that is tailored for a specific language, pass a value from the enum into
RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter.from_language
Below we demonstrate examples for the various languages.
pip install -qU langchain-text-splitters
from langchain_text_splitters import (
    Language,
    RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter,
)
To view the full list of supported languages:

\section{Introduction}
Large language models (LLMs) are a type of machine learning model that can be trained on vast amounts of text data to generate human-like language. In recent years, LLMs have made significant advances in a variety of natural language processing tasks, including language translation, text generation, and sentiment analysis.

\subsection{History of LLMs}
The earliest LLMs were developed in the 1980s and 1990s, but they were limited by the amount of data that could be processed and the computational power available at the time. In the past decade, however, advances in hardware and software have made it possible to train LLMs on massive datasets, leading to significant improvements in performance.

\subsection{Applications of LLMs}
LLMs have many applications in industry, including chatbots, content creation, and virtual assistants. They can also be used in academia for research in linguistics, psychology, and computational linguistics.
