What is meta? ×  Sometimes it would be better to review changes
based on the raw text instead of the formatted text.  Example:
Someone puts some XML code into the text, which disappears in
the resulting formatted text. Someone else proposes to format
the XML as code. As a reviewer I can't see if the change only
makes invisible text visible or if the author actually changed
or added the text. I may go to the post and open it in the
editor to see the original raw text - which is cumbersome.  So
it would be nice to have a raw view for reviewers.

accepted  You can already do this:  Showing raw text suggested
edit  While it may not be entirely clear (the icon isn't very
suggestive, and the text isn't monospace like you get in the
normal 'view source' or edit areas), the second button on the
left shows the raw version of the edit.  share|improve this
answer Wow, didn't know this. I should change the feature
request to "make the feature more visible" :-)
