Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10662

docs/modelfile.mddocs/modelfile.md

It is not clear what the format should be for multi-line messages. I've tried to find examples online but I can't find any.

Is it like

MESSAGE user """
Is Toronto in Canada?

Please explain why or why not.
"""

or

MESSAGE """user
Is Toronto in Canada?

Please explain why or why not.
"""

or

MESSAGE """
user
Is Toronto in Canada?

Please explain why or why not.
"""
