+# Output Formats
+
+POML supports multiple output formats to integrate seamlessly with different AI services, frameworks, and applications.
+
+## Two Types of Format Control
+
+POML provides **two distinct levels** of format control:
+
+### 1. Output Structure Formats
+
+Control the **overall structure** of the result (API format):
+
+- `format: 'raw'` - Plain text with role boundaries
+- `format: 'dict'` - Ruby Hash with metadata (default)
+- `format: 'openai_chat'` - OpenAI message arrays
+- `format: 'openaiResponse'` - Standardized AI response
+- `format: 'langchain'` - LangChain compatible
+- `format: 'pydantic'` - Python interoperability
+
+### 2. Content Rendering Formats
+
+Control how **components render** within the content using `<output format="..."/>`:
+
+- `format="markdown"` - Markdown syntax (default): `# Header`, `**bold**`
+- `format="html"` - HTML tags: `<h1>Header</h1>`, `<b>bold</b>`
+- `format="text"` - Plain text without markup
+- `format="json"` - JSON representation of content
+- `format="xml"` - XML-structured content
+
+**Example combining both:**
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <role>Writer</role>
+    <h1>Article Title</h1>
+    <p>Content with <b>emphasis</b></p>
+    <output format="html"/>  <!-- Content format -->
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+# Structure format
+result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'dict')
+puts result['output']  # HTML: <h1>Article Title</h1><p>Content with <b>emphasis</b></p>
+```
+
+## Available Formats
+
+POML provides six main output formats:
+
+- **raw** - Plain text with role boundaries
+- **dict** - Ruby Hash with structured metadata  
+- **openai_chat** - OpenAI API compatible message arrays
+- **openaiResponse** - Standardized AI response structure
+- **langchain** - LangChain compatible format
+- **pydantic** - Python interoperability with strict schemas
+
+## Raw Format
+
+The raw format outputs plain text with role boundaries, perfect for direct use with AI APIs:
+
+```ruby
+require 'poml'
+
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <role>Ruby Expert</role>
+    <task>Review code for best practices</task>
+    <hint>Focus on performance and readability</hint>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'raw')
+puts result
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```
+===== system =====
+
+# Role
+
+Ruby Expert
+
+# Task
+
+Review code for best practices
+
+# Hint
+
+Focus on performance and readability
+```
+
+### Raw Format with Chat Components
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <system>You are a helpful programming assistant.</system>
+    <human>How do I optimize this Ruby code?</human>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'raw')
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```
+===== system =====
+
+You are a helpful programming assistant.
+
+===== human =====
+
+How do I optimize this Ruby code?
+```
+
+## Dictionary Format (Default)
+
+The dictionary format returns a Ruby Hash with structured content and metadata:
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <role>Data Analyst</role>
+    <task>Analyze sales data</task>
+    <meta variables='{"quarter": "Q4", "year": 2024}' />
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'dict')
+# or simply: result = Poml.process(markup: markup)
+
+puts result.class          # Hash
+puts result['content']     # The formatted prompt
+puts result['metadata']    # Additional information
+```
+
+Structure:
+
+```ruby
+{
+  'content' => "The formatted prompt text",
+  'metadata' => {
+    'chat' => true,
+    'variables' => {'quarter' => 'Q4', 'year' => 2024},
+    'schemas' => [],
+    'tools' => [],
+    'custom_metadata' => {}
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## OpenAI Chat Format
+
+Perfect for integration with OpenAI's Chat Completions API:
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <system>You are a code review assistant specializing in Ruby.</system>
+    <human>Please review this method for potential improvements.</human>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+messages = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'openai_chat')
+puts JSON.pretty_generate(messages)
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "role": "system",
+    "content": "You are a code review assistant specializing in Ruby."
+  },
+  {
+    "role": "user", 
+    "content": "Please review this method for potential improvements."
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### With Template Variables
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <system>You are a {{expertise}} expert.</system>
+    <human>Help me with {{task_type}}.</human>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+context = {
+  'expertise' => 'Ruby on Rails',
+  'task_type' => 'performance optimization'
+}
+
+messages = Poml.process(markup: markup, context: context, format: 'openai_chat')
+```
+
+### Direct OpenAI Integration
+
+```ruby
+require 'net/http'
+require 'json'
+
+def send_to_openai(poml_markup, context = {})
+  messages = Poml.process(
+    markup: poml_markup,
+    context: context,
+    format: 'openai_chat'
+  )
+  
+  payload = {
+    model: 'gpt-4',
+    messages: messages,
+    max_tokens: 1000,
+    temperature: 0.7
+  }
+  
+  uri = URI('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions')
+  http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
+  http.use_ssl = true
+  
+  request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)
+  request['Authorization'] = "Bearer #{ENV['OPENAI_API_KEY']}"
+  request['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
+  request.body = JSON.generate(payload)
+  
+  response = http.request(request)
+  JSON.parse(response.body)
+end
+
+# Usage
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <system>You are a helpful assistant.</system>
+    <human>Explain recursion in programming.</human>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+response = send_to_openai(markup)
+puts response['choices'][0]['message']['content']
+```
+
+## OpenAI Response Format
+
+Standardized AI response structure separate from conversational chat format:
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <role>Research Assistant</role>
+    <task>Summarize research findings</task>
+    
+    <output-schema name="ResearchSummary">
+    {
+      "type": "object",
+      "properties": {
+        "key_findings": {"type": "array"},
+        "confidence": {"type": "number"}
+      }
+    }
+    </output-schema>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'openaiResponse')
+puts JSON.pretty_generate(result)
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "content": "Research Assistant\n\nSummarize research findings",
+  "type": "prompt",
+  "metadata": {
+    "variables": {},
+    "schemas": [
+      {
+        "name": "ResearchSummary",
+        "content": {"type": "object", "properties": {...}}
+      }
+    ],
+    "tools": [],
+    "custom_metadata": {}
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### With Tools and Schemas
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <role>Data Analyst</role>
+    <task>Analyze dataset and provide insights</task>
+    
+    <tool-definition name="load_data">
+    {
+      "description": "Load dataset from file",
+      "parameters": {
+        "type": "object",
+        "properties": {
+          "file_path": {"type": "string"},
+          "format": {"type": "string"}
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    </tool-definition>
+    
+    <output-schema name="Analysis">
+    {
+      "type": "object",
+      "properties": {
+        "insights": {"type": "array"},
+        "recommendations": {"type": "array"}
+      }
+    }
+    </output-schema>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'openaiResponse')
+```
+
+## LangChain Format
+
+Compatible with LangChain framework for Python/Node.js integration:
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <system>You are a helpful assistant.</system>
+    <human>Explain machine learning concepts.</human>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'langchain')
+puts JSON.pretty_generate(result)
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "messages": [
+    {
+      "role": "system",
+      "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
+    },
+    {
+      "role": "human",
+      "content": "Explain machine learning concepts."
+    }
+  ],
+  "content": "===== system =====\n\nYou are a helpful assistant.\n\n===== human =====\n\nExplain machine learning concepts."
+}
+```
+
+### LangChain Integration Example
+
+```python
+# Python example using the output
+import json
+from langchain.schema import SystemMessage, HumanMessage
+
+def process_poml_for_langchain(poml_output):
+    messages = []
+    for msg in poml_output['messages']:
+        if msg['role'] == 'system':
+            messages.append(SystemMessage(content=msg['content']))
+        elif msg['role'] == 'human':
+            messages.append(HumanMessage(content=msg['content']))
+    return messages
+```
+
+## Pydantic Format
+
+Enhanced Python interoperability with strict JSON schemas:
+
+```ruby
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <role>API Designer</role>
+    <task>Design REST API endpoints</task>
+    
+    <meta title="API Design Session" author="Senior Developer" />
+    
+    <output-schema name="APIDesign">
+    {
+      "type": "object",
+      "properties": {
+        "endpoints": {"type": "array"},
+        "schemas": {"type": "object"}
+      }
+    }
+    </output-schema>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'pydantic')
+puts JSON.pretty_generate(result)
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "content": "API Designer\n\nDesign REST API endpoints", 
+  "variables": {},
+  "chat_enabled": true,
+  "schemas": [
+    {
+      "name": "APIDesign",
+      "schema": {"type": "object", "properties": {...}}
+    }
+  ],
+  "custom_metadata": {
+    "title": "API Design Session",
+    "author": "Senior Developer"
+  },
+  "metadata": {
+    "format": "pydantic",
+    "python_compatibility": true,
+    "strict_schemas": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Python Integration
+
+```python
+# Python example using pydantic output
+from pydantic import BaseModel, create_model
+import json
+
+def create_pydantic_model(poml_output):
+    """Create Pydantic model from POML schema output"""
+    schemas = poml_output.get('schemas', [])
+    
+    if schemas:
+        schema = schemas[0]['schema']
+        model_name = schemas[0]['name']
+        
+        # Create Pydantic model from JSON schema
+        return create_model(model_name, **schema['properties'])
+    
+    return None
+```
+
+## Format Comparison
+
+### When to Use Each Format
+
+| Format | Best For | Output Type | Metadata |
+|--------|----------|-------------|----------|
+| `raw` | Direct AI API calls, Claude, custom models | String | None |
+| `dict` | Ruby applications, general processing | Hash | Full |
+| `openai_chat` | OpenAI Chat Completions API | Array | None |
+| `openaiResponse` | Structured AI responses with metadata | Hash | Full |
+| `langchain` | LangChain framework integration | Hash | Partial |
+| `pydantic` | Python applications, strict schemas | Hash | Enhanced |
+
+### Performance Characteristics
+
+```ruby
+require 'benchmark'
+
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <role>Performance Tester</role>
+    <task>Test processing speed</task>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+Benchmark.bm(15) do |x|
+  x.report('raw:') { 1000.times { Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'raw') } }

+  x.report('pydantic:') { 1000.times { Poml.process(markup: markup, format: 'pydantic') } }
+end
+```
+
+## Advanced Format Usage
+
+### Dynamic Format Selection
+
+```ruby
+class PomlFormatter
+  FORMATS = {
+    openai: 'openai_chat',
+    claude: 'raw',
+    langchain: 'langchain',
+    python: 'pydantic',
+    default: 'dict'
+  }.freeze
+  
+  def self.process_for_service(markup, service, context = {})
+    format = FORMATS[service] || FORMATS[:default]
+    Poml.process(markup: markup, context: context, format: format)
+  end
+end
+
+# Usage
+markup = '<poml><role>Assistant</role><task>Help users</task></poml>'
+
+openai_result = PomlFormatter.process_for_service(markup, :openai)
+claude_result = PomlFormatter.process_for_service(markup, :claude)
+python_result = PomlFormatter.process_for_service(markup, :python)
+```
+
+### Format Validation
+
+```ruby
+def validate_format_output(markup, format)
+  result = Poml.process(markup: markup, format: format)
+  
+  case format
+  when 'openai_chat'
+    return result.is_a?(Array) && result.all? { |msg| msg['role'] && msg['content'] }
+  when 'dict', 'openaiResponse', 'langchain', 'pydantic'
+    return result.is_a?(Hash) && result['content']
+  when 'raw'
+    return result.is_a?(String)
+  else
+    false
+  end
+end
+
+# Test all formats
+formats = ['raw', 'dict', 'openai_chat', 'openaiResponse', 'langchain', 'pydantic']
+markup = '<poml><role>Tester</role><task>Test formats</task></poml>'
+
+formats.each do |format|
+  valid = validate_format_output(markup, format)
+  puts "#{format}: #{valid ? '✅' : '❌'}"
+end
+```
+
+### Content Consistency Testing
+
+```ruby
+def test_content_consistency(markup, context = {})
+  formats = ['raw', 'dict', 'openai_chat', 'openaiResponse', 'langchain', 'pydantic']
+  results = {}
+  
+  formats.each do |format|
+    results[format] = Poml.process(markup: markup, context: context, format: format)
+  end
+  
+  # Extract content from each format
+  contents = {
+    'raw' => results['raw'],
+    'dict' => results['dict']['content'],
+    'openai_chat' => results['openai_chat'].map { |msg| msg['content'] }.join("\n"),
+    'openaiResponse' => results['openaiResponse']['content'],
+    'langchain' => results['langchain']['content'],
+    'pydantic' => results['pydantic']['content']
+  }
+  
+  # Check if core content is consistent
+  base_content = contents['dict'].gsub(/=+\s*\w+\s*=+/, '').strip
+  
+  contents.each do |format, content|
+    processed_content = content.gsub(/=+\s*\w+\s*=+/, '').strip
+    consistent = processed_content.include?(base_content.split("\n").first)
+    puts "#{format}: #{consistent ? '✅' : '❌'} content consistency"
+  end
+end
+
+# Test consistency
+markup = <<~POML
+  <poml>
+    <role>{{role_type}}</role>
+    <task>{{task_description}}</task>
+  </poml>
+POML
+
+context = { 'role_type' => 'Analyst', 'task_description' => 'Analyze data' }
+test_content_consistency(markup, context)
+```
+
+## Integration Examples

+# Quick Start
+
+Here's a very simple POML example. Please put it in a file named `example.poml`. Make sure it resides in the same directory as the `photosynthesis_diagram.png` image file.
+
+```xml
+<poml>
+  <role>You are a patient teacher explaining concepts to a 10-year-old.</role>
+  <task>Explain the concept of photosynthesis using the provided image as a reference.</task>
+
+  <img src="photosynthesis_diagram.png" alt="Diagram of photosynthesis" />
+
+  <output-format>
+    Keep the explanation simple, engaging, and under 100 words.
+    Start with "Hey there, future scientist!".
+  </output-format>
+</poml>
+```
+
+This example defines a role and task for the LLM, includes an image for context, and specifies the desired output format. With the POML toolkit, the prompt can be easily rendered with a flexible format, and tested with a vision LLM.
+
