+title: "Markdown in Perplexity - Demanding Blocks"
+---
+
+## Getting Perplexity AI to output markdown blocks
+
+### The Issue
+
+If you use Perplexity.AI to prompt an integrated LLM (say GPT-4o) the output, pulled from the integration, may loose some of its formatting.
+
+The backticks (```) which are used to separate code-fences (including markdown the LLM expects you'll want to copy in isolation from the rest of the text) are often stripped
+
+## Demo
+
+For example:
+
+I want to ask Perplexity to generate some nice markdown badges using the excellent Shields.io project. 
+
+If I prompt like this:
+
+![alt text](../images/211124/3.png)
+
+Then we  can see that the output generated is effectively useless:
+
+![alt text](../images/211124/4.png)
+
+The reason: loss of codefencing.
+
+## The Hack
+
+Now let me show you the workaround (this isn't necessary if you're using ChatGPT directly, but I have found it essential in Perplexity).
+
+Add an instruction like this to your prompt which explicitly tells the LLM to fence off the markdown in a codeblock so that you can copy it out:
+
+`Format the output like this (as a continuous block of markdown)`
+
+Or:
+
+`Format the output as a continuous block of markdown`
+
+For V2, I used the same prompt but with that tacked on:
+
+![alt text](../images/211124/v2.png)
+
+And as you can see, Perplexity has now formatted its output in a way that I can use: the badges I need for my project are fenced off in a codeblock and properly formatted. I can copy them straight out of the LLM and into my web project!
