re ambrus"view xml" above, for demo only:
This node contains a random sample of pm formatting
For instance, this demonstrates a way to link to a monk's homenode, whilst displaying an alternate name (see above).
...and this is a way that doesn't do what you might expect: link.
this is code...line 1
and line 2...
and a last line of 'code'
[ inside (non-linking) square_brackets, ] which are [ and ], respectively.
and inside Win32::TieRegistry - Overlapped IO event message brackets linking to an op (not selected for relevance)
Inside a set of <spoiler.../spoiler> tags
While using character entities for < and > sometimes come in handy.
Now, scroll up to the top of this page and try the xml link

Thats a bug. Its not clear where from but I intend to find out.
/me adjusts his glasses.
Er, not a bug. :-)
Anyway, the point I was originally going to make was that the xml view is per node and is escaped. So the "scroll to the top and hit the xml link" is going to do different things depending on whether it was being viewed as part of a thread or as the root node. When viewed as the root node it does "the right thing". Whether that is what you expected I can't say.

........erhhhhh
/me seeks mechanic for adjustment of brain.
ABSOLUTELY! Dear, gentle future readers: please note demerphq's wisdom and if you wish to see the xml of the sample stuff above, please view the thread, not the node.

i would like this feature, mainly for quoting. if i quote text wich contains tags, i can't copy them.
cool would be a button beside the 'preview' button that inserts the original text into the textarea with 'blockquote' tags around. | [reply] |

Here’s a tip: in Firefox, you can select something on the page, then pick “View Selection Source” from the contetx menu, and you’ll get a source view window where the bits you selected on the page are also selected. Nice and easy for copying.
Makeshifts last the longest.

Occasionally I've desired this for a better quoting. Generally I just copy and paste with the mouse. Personally I don't see any particular risk with such a thing in any case, since what gets written in the code source is public in any case - that is: I know about e.g. <spoiler> tags, but they can be revealed anyway. I can live without this feature, but it wouldn't be bad to have it available...

But that will report the text with entities already escaped. I think he wants the "source" of each post exactly like the author sees it...

I had quite some time ago planned to have a displaytype=bare that would do that. Maybe I should get back to it. | [reply] |

'bare' is already assigned and it isn't a displaytype, so let's not overload that term.
Besides, 'bare' doesn't fit well. 'source' would be better. Or 'input' or 'asentered' or 'rawtext'...
Note that whether you get nodelets etc. around this would be separately controlled (by 'style=bare' or not).
