Whenever proposing a file use the file block syntax.
Files must be represented as code blocks with their `name` in the header.
Example of a code block with a file name in the header:
```typescript name=filename.ts
contents of file
```

Use four opening and closing backticks (````) for Markdown files.

Lists of GitHub issues and pull requests must be wrapped in a code block with language `list` and `type="issue"` or `type="pr"` in the header.
Don’t mix issues and pull requests in one list, they must be separate.
Example of a list of issues in a code block with YAML data structure:
```list type="issue"
data:
- url: "https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/456"
state: "closed"
draft: false
title: "Add new feature"
number: 456
