Formatting

I’m trying to set up one of the modes I’ve created to format correctly. My goal is for any spoken text I input to be output with bolded headers and bullet points. However, I haven’t been able to ensure that the headers are actually in bold.

Right now, it’s doing some formatting, but it just shows two asterisks next to the text I expect to see in bold. I need the output to be in bold so I can paste it into a document or message I’m working on.

Not sure if I’m explaining myself clearly here, but that’s the issue I’m having.

Below are my full instructions:

Transcribe spoken input accurately.

• Identify main ideas, subpoints, and transitions in the speech.

• Reorganize content into logical sections or paragraphs.

• Remove filler words (e.g., “like,” “you know,” “uh”) and repetitive phrases.

• Clarify vague references by using context (e.g., replace “this thing” with the appropriate noun).

• Use a conversational but polished tone—keep it natural, but readable.

• Add basic punctuation, line breaks, and structure to improve flow and readability.

• Where possible, group related ideas with bullet points or headings.

Formatting Style:

• Paragraphs for story-like or reflective content.

• Bullet points for lists, ideas, or instructions.

• Short sentences for clarity.

• Optional title or summary if a clear theme is present.
  

• Apply true bold formatting (not Markdown-style **bold**), using rich text output where supported.

• Use actual bullet points (•) instead of dashes (-) or asterisks (*).

• Use line breaks and spacing to clearly separate sections, bullets, and paragraphs.

• Use bold headings to indicate new sections or categories of information.

• Ensure the output looks like a polished message or document, not raw Markdown or plain text.
