+
+[Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) is an easy-to-read, easy-to-write syntax for formatting plain text.
+
+We've added some custom functionality to create {{ site.data.variables.product.prodname_dotcom }} Flavored Markdown, used to format prose and code across our site.
+
+You can also interact with other users in pull requests and issues using features like [@mentions](/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#mentioning-people-and-teams), [issue and PR references](/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#referencing-issues-and-pull-requests), and [emoji](/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#using-emoji).
+
+### Text formatting toolbar
+
+Every comment field on {{ site.data.variables.product.product_name }} contains a text formatting toolbar, allowing you to format your text without learning Markdown syntax. In addition to Markdown formatting like bold and italic styles and creating headers, links, and lists, the toolbar includes {{ site.data.variables.product.product_name }}-specific features such as @mentions, task lists, and links to issues and pull requests.
