Feature update: Markdown Toolbar coming to Comment Editor!

Hello, dear DEV community!

I have a quick and exciting update for you today: we have brought the highly requested markdown toolbar to the comment editor.

We first introduced the markdown toolbar in the post editor, and then we simplified how to add a rich-content embed. These are both integral parts of the authoring experience we wanted to get right. We have come a long way and now the toolbar is ready to grace our comment editor. 🎉

I’d like to take the chance to thank my talented and incredibly supportive teammates. I can’t have done this without:

Have you tried it? Play with it and as always, let me know what you think in the comment section below! 😉
