Commenters expect rich Markdown syntax (as available on GitHub or with Pandoc), but Bugzilla only supports some basic markup. For example, code blocks cannot have a language tag and if one is supplied the rendering comes out very bad. Today's example: https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18874#c0.

I think we can avoid at least some of the broken submissions if the Markdown checkbox below the comment field says this is "basic" Markdown and mentions the Preview feature. This PR suggests one possible wording, but @mmaechler might want to chime in.
