 We are using TSDoc for documentation generation, IDEs use JSDoc for tooltips. TSDoc and JSDoc have subtle differences. We need to optimize for both.

 ### Guidelines
 
 - Only use one `@example` section
 - Use a single code block in it, no explanations
-- Wrap the code block in ```ts ... ```
+- Wrap the code block in `` ```ts ... ``` `` (the `ts` modifier is important, api-documenter copies the `@example` section verbatim, and our documentation page might not highlight the vanilla `` ``` `` sections)
 - If you need to explain the code, use code comments

+api-documenter doesn’t generate documentation for it, but IDEs might display it even if they don't have bespoke support for it.
 
 #### `@link`
 
 While in JSDoc you can specify paths relative to the current declaration, TSDoc requires everything to be specified relative to the entry point. That is, if `bar` is a member of `Foo`, and `Foo` is exported in the entry, you need to refer to `bar` as `Foo.bar`, even inside `Foo`.
 
-JSDoc allows separating the link text from the link either with a space or using “|”. TSDoc only supports “|”, *and* you mustn’t have spaces around it. So for example `{@link MyClass | go here}` would be rendered incorrectly, whereas `{@link MyClass|go here}` would be correct.
