OpenAI cookbook says LLMs understand XML better than Markdown text.

Yes, for prompts. Given how little XML is out on the public internet it'd be surprising if it also applies to data ingestion from web scraping functions. It'd be odd if Markdown works better than HTML to be honest, but maybe Markdown also changes the content being served e.g. there's no menu, header, or footer sent with the body content.
