 ## Pull Requests
 
 - **One release label:** `breaking`, `enhancement`, `bug`, `documentation` or `internal`. release-plan won't plan a release while a merged PR has none.
+- **HTML tags in the title go in backticks** (`` `<select>` ``): release-plan copies titles into the notes as they are, and a bare `<select>` swallows everything after it.
 - **`preview`** for visual changes; it deploys a Storybook preview.
 - **Milestone `Stable`** for work before the stable release.
 - **`Closes #N`** for the issue it finishes. A parity-check issue also needs `--mark-synced` (see [implement-component](../implement-component/SKILL.md)).
