Rich text editor
You can add a description to a topic using Flat's rich text editor. The same editor is also used for discussion comments.
A topic's description is where you can optionally capture important context that people working on the topic will need, things like:
- An overview of what needs to be done
- Why the work is being done in the first place
- Links to resources in other systems
The editor recognizes all of the common formatting keyboard shortcuts you'd expect:
