Right now in Confluence, if you want to see the wiki markup for a page, you have to edit the page, then cancel out. It would be nice to be able to simply view the wiki markup.
The main reason for this is that people can learn a lot about how to make good wiki pages by looking at the underlying wiki markup. But often those pages are not ones that the user should be able to edit. Therefore, a "read-only wiki markup" tab would be very nice. It would replace the "Edit" tab when the user does not have permissions to change the page. If for some reason someone doesn't want access to seeing the wiki markup, that could be handled with permissions, or this option could be turned off globally. If the feature is added to a future version of Confluence, it could turned off by default, so that it won't be a surprise to administrators doing an upgrade.
