I’ve seen a lot of tips around the Internet about how to improve prompts. Here’s some simple ones that rely on nothing more than some Markdown.
Use Headers to organize content
- Use # for main headings.
- Use ##, ###, etc., for subheadings.
# Main Heading
## Subheading
### Sub-subheading
Emphasize text for clarity
- Use
**text**
for bold. - Use
*text*
or_text_
for italic.
I am **strongly** emphasizing this.
This is an _important_ note.
Create lists for better readability
- Use
-
or*
for unordered lists. - Use 1., 2., etc., for ordered lists
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- First step
- Second step

Use code blocks for technical content
- Use code blocks that begin and end with triple back ticks ```.
```
# This is a code block
print("Hello")
```
And one more example:
```Also a code block```
But a single line, command, or function can be done with single back ticks:
`print("this is a line of code")`
Use block quotes for citations
- Use
>
for block quotes
Your quote goes here:
> Now is the time for all good men...
Add images
- Use
![al text](image url)
for images
![This is an image](https://example.com/image.jpg)
