Mar 26, 2018 at 21:15 comment added LSpice @EmilJeřábek, I can buy that this is generally true, but the specific example that motivated it was this post copied nearly literatim from comments by alpoge, which is, I think, a counterexample.
Mar 26, 2018 at 20:40 comment added Emil Jeřábek You should retype it and, in fact, rewrite it. Copy and paste of a comment usually does not make a good answer (even if it can give the gist of the main idea).

Mar 26, 2018 at 19:31 comment added LSpice @MartinSleziak, thanks! It sure seems like my question is a duplicate of your first linked one. Do you agree?
Mar 26, 2018 at 19:26 comment added Martin Sleziak It might be also worth checking Meta Stack Exchange: Is there a way to view a comment's source? (And maybe also the linked questions.)

Mar 26, 2018 at 19:23 comment added Martin Sleziak Some suggestions can be found here: How to copy mixture of text and latex formulas in a comment? (Mathematics Meta) From the possibilities listed there, the bookmarklet is really quick. However, it only works for comments under a question (not for comments under an answer). Maybe also other posts linked there might be useful.
