Delimiter Guide

Orange text = optional fields.

Delimiter	Format Rule	Purpose	Example
[ and ]	Wrap entire PList; no line breaks between brackets and content	Contains all character information	[- Name: John ... ]
:	Follow category name, space after	Separates category name from content	Name: John
;	End each category, no space before	Marks category end	Hobby: painting;
( and )	No spaces after opening or before closing, can nest	Adds/Reinforce contextual and descriptive details	tall(6'2"), nervous(childhood trauma(bullying))
,	Space after; between items	Separates list items or traits	Hobbies: reading, writing, art;
Capitalization	Optional for categories, just keep it consistent	Aids identification	Name:, Age:, Personality:

Markdown & AliChat

Upon testing with various 7B Q6 locally hosted models, I've found a combination of Markdown & AliChat is a safe and comparable alternative to PList.

Markdown

• Easy updates

• Logical grouping

• Clear relationship mapping

AliChat

• Clear, structured details

• Consistent formatting

• Token efficiency

Instead of ending each category with a semicolon (;), use a line break (\n ) instead. On the back end, this achieves the same purpose while maintaining better readability in Markdown. Using # headings create a clear hierarchical structure and reduce the chances of leakage compared to square brackets ([]). Results may vary.
