What “XML-like” means

An opening tag such as <scopo> introduces a block; </scopo> closes it. A <richiesta> block can contain the others. Here, tags organise text in a chat; they are not a program or a mandatory new language for the model. There is no universal tag vocabulary: this is a Take Two teaching convention.

A complete example

The four blocks separate the goal, working method, available information and response format. A sentence may be enough for a short request; use structure when it makes the task clearer.

What to check as you practise

  • Are all four blocks present?
  • Are tests still pending and the owner undefined?
  • Are the tags closed and readable?
