Distinguishing content from instruction

Distinguish between the instructions you are giving and the content you are asking for by using the following:

1. Triple Quotation Marks """ or ### or ---------lines
    Purpose: Differentiate between instructions and direct quotations or examples of text/code.
    Example: Translate this to French: ### Bonjour, comment ça va? ###

2. New Lines or Paragraphs
    Purpose: Separate instructions from content or different parts of the instruction to enhance readability.

3. Bullet Points or Numbered Lists
    Purpose: Break down instructions or content elements into clearer, more digestible pieces.

4. Using sub-titles like Instruction and Content
    Purpose: Explicitly label different sections of your input to clarify which parts are instructions and which are content.

5. Use of Square Brackets [   ]
    Purpose: Encapsulate specific terms or phrases you want the model to focus on or treat as variables.
    Example: "Explain the significance of [keyword]."
