I have a program that require all keywords to be in a single paragraph, most of the time, separated by commas

For example:

I have those terms

1-Term
1.1-Term
2-Term
3-Term
4-Term

That i collected and organized into groups and subgroups with Titles and subtitles

Title

  • 1-Term

  • 1.1-Term

  • 2-Term

    • Sub-Title
      • 3-Term
      • 4-Term

But then i want to turn them into:

1-Term, 1.1-Term, 2-Term, 3-Term, 4-Term

Removing certain marked words(Titles and sub-Titles), any Empty/Blank space, and Line breaks, while adding the commas between The Terms. I want to keep certain dashes "-"(like in words )

1-Term,1.1 -Term,2-Term,3-Term,4-Term

Why do the prefix numbers change between examples?

My bad, i fixed it

I want to show that the two terms are related e,g Star and Jedi by grouping them together

Franchises

Stars wars
Jedi

Transformers

Also i am not able to add line breaks between bullet points in markdown. so instead i get this

Franchises

  • Stars wars

  • Jedi

  • Transformers

So i cant show the grouping thing in lemmy here. I would have also liked The list i make to be markdown compatible but i guess that separate issue.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
