 ## Data Support
 Users can pass training data as either a single file or a Hugging Face dataset ID using the `--training_data_path` argument along with other arguments required for various [use cases](#use-cases-supported-with-training_data_path-argument) (see details below). If user choose to pass a file, it can be in any of the [supported formats](#supported-data-formats). Alternatively, you can use our powerful [data preprocessing backend](./docs/advanced-data-preprocessing.md) to preprocess datasets on the fly.

 Below, we mention the list of supported data usecases via `--training_data_path` argument. For details of our advanced data preprocessing see more details in [Advanced Data Preprocessing](./docs/advanced-data-preprocessing.md).
 
-## Supported Data Formats
+EOS tokens are added to all data formats listed below (EOS token is appended to the end of each data point, like a sentence or paragraph within the dataset), except for pretokenized data format at this time. For more info, see [pretokenized](#4-pre-tokenized-datasets).
