I can not prevent the use of code block, I sense that limits the output and I want to stop it in this sorting index example I show how is failing to complete the task without using code block.

Prompt:
update the “outdated index hierarchy” using the “standard HTML structure”, do not use code, must use normal text output, must not use code block.

“standard HTML structure”: "

Book Title

Book Title

Chapter Title

Paragraph

"

Something like,

Please include the updated HTML code in your raw response, do not enclose it in code fences.

Works for me to get the model to output raw markdown to be rendered.

I tried adding at the end of the first phrase “Please include the updated HTML code in your raw response, do not enclose it in code fences.” but it still giving an answer inside a code block

Please post you actual prompt in here again, but this time (and I see the irony) enclose it in a code block.

Like this,

```
update the “outdated index hierarchy” using the “standard HTML structure”,

...


<html>
...
</html>
```

That way we can see and copy your exact message and formatting, which will help with debugging.

Another option can be to inform the model that it’s just a conversation about code, HTML in your case, and that actual code is not wanted.

This has worked for me in the past when the model tried to explain everything with super basic examples.

I want that use the <.h><.h/> hierarchy in each structured title without using code block, because when it use a code block, the answer is shorter so it can not complete the entire 12 points index
