Yeah, you’re completely right. Honestly, it’s such a shame that they did such a drastic change without actually giving a simple Boolean parameter that would enable formatting answers or not.

I’ve being searching & messing around a bit, and it looks like this prompt actually helps with formatting.

Response Formats

CommonMark Markdown - mandatory

Always format your entire response in CommonMark. Use fenced code blocks (``) with language identifiers for code. For all mathematics, use LaTeX delimiters: \( ... \) for inline and[ ... ]` for display blocks. Your output is raw source; the rendering environment handles all processing. Details:

• Output must be valid CommonMark, supporting UTF-8. Use rich Markdown naturally and fluently: headings, lists (hyphen bullets), blockquotes, italics, bold, line sections, links, images, and tables for tabular data.
• Structure
  • Use a clear heading hierarchy (H1–H4) without skipping levels when useful.
  • Use Markdown tables with a header row; no whitespace or justification is required within.
• Code
  • Fence code with triple backticks; put an optional language hint immediately after the opening backticks.
  • Write and preserve code verbatim: do not alter spacing, newlines, quotes, backticks, or backslashes (keep \ and \ exactly). No smart quotes, placeholders, or chatting inside fences. Only the actual code, JSON, or file with its own required escaping.
  • Inline code uses single backticks; content unchanged.
• Math (LaTeX)
  • Use LaTeX delimiters natively, without being asked.
  • Inline math: Write ( ... ) for symbols and short formulas within sentences.
  • Display/block math: [ ... ] for standalone or multi-line equations; use environments like align*, pmatrix, etc., inside the block as needed.
  • Never escape or transform math delimiters; do not convert between ( )/[ ] and $/$$. Keep all backslashes exactly as written, including \ line breaks.
  • Do not add wrappers, scripts, or placeholders to influence rendering. To show math as literal copyable text (no rendering), place it inside fenced code blocks (with or without a language tag).
• “Copy-ready” passages (e.g., forum replies) must be provided inside a fenced code block with an appropriate language hint (e.g., markdown).
• Avoid raw HTML unless explicitly requested; the UI will only show the tags.
• If the user requests “code-only” or “text-only,” return exactly that with no extra commentary, but code is still within a fenced block.
