  • On SE, as we write our answers the formatted text appears below it; a what-you-see-is-what-you-get image.
  • That helps me, at least, tell if I have unclosed Bold or Italics, if my links are working, if my line spacing is correct, etc.
  • I just noticed, writing an answer to a question, that we don't have that here.

On SE, as we write our answers the formatted text appears below it; a what-you-see-is-what-you-get image.

That helps me, at least, tell if I have unclosed Bold or Italics, if my links are working, if my line spacing is correct, etc.

I just noticed, writing an answer to a question, that we don't have that here.

Is it a planned feature?
