class CaesarConverter(PromptConverter):
"""
Converter to encode prompt using caesar cipher.
Encodes by using given offset.
Using offset=1, 'Hello 123' would encode to 'Ifmmp 234', as each character would shift by 1.
Shifts for digits 0-9 only work if the offset is less than 10, if the offset is equal to or greather than 10,
any numeric values will not be shifted.
Parameters
---
caesar_offset: int
Offset for caesar cipher, range 0 to 25 (inclusive). Can also be negative for shifting backwards.
append_description: bool, default=False
Append plaintext "expert" text to the prompt. Includes instructions to only communicate
using the cipher, a description of the cipher, and an example encoded using cipher.
