Use 「内容」 for the substance of something or what it contains. For things inside a container, say 「中身」 in speech, 「内容物」 in product or medical writing. For the main point, use 「趣旨」 or 「要旨」, but for an aim or purpose only 「趣旨」; for what a word means, 「意味」, with 「意味合い」 for nuances. 「旨趣」 and 「趣意」 are written variants of 「趣旨」. 「意義」 stresses value; 「形式」 and 「外観」 are the opposites.
