It's probably a typo for verbatim. It's probably not intentional, but either way, it illustrates that llms are quite forgiving, and that the LLM "understands" the typo, while a strict whitelist that checked for "markdown verbatim" would let the prompt through...

- opello 3y agoSure, but even if it's a typo for verbatim, I still don't quite understand what "a markdown verbatim" would mean where verbatim is the noun. I've always thought of the daringfireball.net[1] page as the authoritative source of Markdown syntax, and it calls them "code blocks." It looks like Pandoc[2] talks about "verbatim environments" in the same way. And clang[3] has a method for extracting documentation formatted as "markdown verbatim," instead of applying formatting to the document.

I went to Gemini to ask it what a "markdown verbatism" was and: > In markdown, verbatims are code snippets or text that you want displayed exactly as you typed it, without markdown interpreting any formatting instructions. it seems to be applying the Pandoc usage, which I found a few other places too. But it strikes me as an excessively jargon-heavy way of talking about code blocks or pre-formatted blocks when those terms seem resolve the nuance and would be common in other contexts. The idea that it's a clever way to escape a blacklist is interesting too.
