Total tangent, but what vagary of HTML (or the Brave Browser, which I'm using here) causes words to be split in very odd places? The "inspect" devtools certainly didn't show anything unusual to me. (Edit: Chrome, MS Edge, and Firefox do the same thing. I also notice they're all links; wonder if that has something to do with it.) https://i.imgur.com/HGa0i3m.png
CSS on the tags: word-break: break-all;
Sounds like as 1. XML is the cleanest/best quality training data (especially compared to PDF/HTML) 2. It follows that a user providing semantic tags in XML format can get best training alignment (hence best results). Shame they haven't quantified this assertion here.
The thesis here seems to be that delimiters provide important context for Claude, and for that putpose we should use XML. The article even references English's built-in delimiter, the quotation mark, which is reprented as a token for Claude, part of its training data. So are we sure the lesson isn't simply to leverage delimiters, such as quotation marks, in prompts, period? The article doesn't identify any way in whi…

Except quotation marks look like regular text. I regularly use quotes in prompts for, ya know, quotes.
That first image, “Structure Prompts with XML”, just screams AI-written. The bullet lists don’t line up, the numbering starts at (2), random bolding. Why would anyone trust hallucinated documentation for prompting? At least with AI-generated software documentation, the context is the code itself, being regurgitated into bulleted english. But for instructions on using the LLM itself, it seems pretty lazy to not hand-t…
This isn’t surprising: XML’s core purpose was to simplify SGML for a wider breadth of applications on the web. HTML also descended from SGML, and it’s hard to imagine a more deeply grooved structure in these models, given their training data. So if you want to annotate text with semantics in a way models will understand…
XML and HTML are SGMLs

Although I can never remember the correct incantation, should be easy for LLMs.
Are we really at the point where some people see XML as a spooky old technology? The phrasing dotted around this article makes me feel that way. I find this quite strange.
