The way to view the markdown source for any comment or story:
- go to the main link (for the story, just that story's URL; for a comment, its permalink)
- append .json to the end of the link (example: before, after)
- copy-n-paste that JSON output to a Javascript beautifier (jsonlint.com, jseautifier.org, jsfiddle.net)
- in the JSON, the "body" field is the markdown, the "body_html" field is the HTML version
