Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the "town hall" (meta-discussion site) for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Raw text of comments to allow understanding formatting

−0

If I see formatting in a Codidact post that I don't know how to recreate, I press "Suggest Edit" below the post so I can look at the raw text. Once I've learned what I need to know, I cancel the edit.

In a comment, there is no option to suggest an edit. I'm not suggesting there should be such an option, but this leaves me with no way to determine how the formatting in the comment was created. I suggest each comment have the option to view it as raw text, so I can find out what Markdown/HTML/MathJax was used.
