Do you get tangibly different results if you don't capitalize MUST (NOT)?

My use of MUST/MUST NOT is from experience with various web specification documents and is capitalized more for visual recognition than any other reason. Having only used this form, I cannot answer your question as to document generation impact. I would imagine use of Markdown emphasis, such as:

  - _must not_ ...

Would have some effect though. Perhaps both even more?

  • I asked because I've seen other folks mention capitalizing things for emphasis so the LLM follows instructions more closely (which is one of those things that make me feel like the UX around LLMs is bananas).
