I'm not used to Markdown. Sure there's a help page (by clicking the **Markup style** link, figured that much), but what I really want is learn from others, and see the plain Markdown text from posts, and I can't seem to be able to. What am I missing? --DD

The notification emails you receive are _raw, unprocessed Markdown._ I can't figure out how to view the original Markdown source on the web interface, but reading the emails should be a reasonable workaround.

Admins have a link that let's us see the raw Markdown. But you are correct, ordinary users do not. I think that should probably be fixed. If you try again in a few days, you may find that it has been.

> If you try again in a few days, you may find that it has been. In the meantime, there's a manual hack around the lack of this feature: copy the link in the post's header (the one that when loaded gives it a blue background) and replace the `forumpost` bit with `artifact`. The top post of this thread is thus: https://sqlite.org/forum/artifact/d12952bc56 If you visit that URL, you'll see the raw text for that post at the end of the artifact following [the `W` card](https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fileformat.wiki#wikichng).
