 This file can be then run with:
+
 ```shell
 helmsman --spec spec.yaml ...
 ```
 
 What it does is it takes the files from `stateFiles` list and orders them based on their priorities same way it does with the apps in DSF file.
 In an example above the result order would be:
-```
+
+```yaml
   - path: examples/minimal-example.toml
   - path: examples/minimal-example.yaml
   - path: examples/example.yaml
 ```
+
 with priorities being `-20, -10, 0` after ordering.
 
 Once ordering is done, Helmsman will read each file one by one and merge the previous states with the current file it goes through.
