There should be a view-source equivalent for the visual editor so that people can see the page in VE as if the could edit it. It should allow them to interrogate things like template, so they can find out which template is producing what they see and how it does that. When VE can cope with copy+paste, then this will also allow them to copy and paste the relevant image/template/whatever to whatever article they are working on.

I can sort-of see the value here, but it's not great. > When VE can cope with copy+paste, then this will also allow them to copy and > paste the relevant image/template/whatever to whatever article they are working > on. We're probably going to want to do this with "read mode" HTML rather than build something like that (so, you copy something from the action=read and paste into veaction=edit and you get the template/etc. magically working). Marking as "low" priority given difficulty and relatively low value for users; happy to be convinced otherwise.
