Comments later in thread say markdown works just as fine and that it’s more important to organize your plan into sections.

Also just think about it, why would a model trained on the world’s corpus of text (that isnt formatted in xml) perform better with XML? It would be a better study if that post tested markdown, org, xml, json, etc. 10 times to see if their is a difference
