Ah. Your question isn't really so much about Praat, then, but rather just annotations for syllable boundaries and prosodic units.
Generally speaking, syllables are marked with a period: [pɑl.ɪ.sɪ.læb.ɪk]
If you want to mark primary and secondary stress, you can do that with high and low tick marks: [ˌpɑl.ɪ.sɪˈlæb.ɪk]
Minor intonation breaks are generally marked with a single line | and phrase breaks with a double line ‖
