Description
Documentation
Reading the Python 3.13 release notes I became curious about the new REPL multiline editing feature:
However, I cannot find any explanation of this feature in the documentation. Clicking on the "interactive" link redirects to the Appendix which mentions the new interactive mode, but doesn't add anything about the multiline editing feature that isn't in the release notes already.

Research direction
Start with the Python 3.13 release-notes section on the better interactive interpreter and the tutorial appendix's interactive-mode section. Document the new REPL multiline editing feature where the issue indicates users expect to find it, with enough explanation beyond the release notes; done means the feature is discoverable in the documentation.
