Board-Specific Constants
------------------------
-This section documents constants whose value might change across
-different LeafLabs boards. You can use these constants to help ensure
-that your code will be portable across different boards.
+There are several :ref:`board-specific constants <lang-board-values>`
+whose value depends on which LeafLabs board you have. If you use
+them, it will help make sure that your code will work well on all
+LeafLabs boards, not just the one you have. This will make it much
+easier to share your code with others.

-.. _lang-constants-led:
-
-- ``BOARD_LED_PIN``: the number of the pin which connects to the
- built-in LED. On the Maple, this is pin 13, but it's not guaranteed
- to be the same in upcoming boards like the Maple Mini.

-.. _lang-constants-but:
-
-- ``BOARD_BUTTON_PIN``: the number of the pin which connects to the
- built-in button (labeled "BUT"). On the Maple, this is pin 38, but
- it's not guaranteed to be the same in other boards.
+For example, the pin number connected to the board's built-in LED is
+different on the different boards, but the board-specific constant
+:ref:`BOARD_LED_PIN <lang-board-values-led>` will always be the
+correct value for each board.
