We don't have HTML preview, which might be
interesting. Surely it's
possible to whip up a userscript for it, if anyone would actually find it
massively useful. (Or, we can just leave the browser's own Web Developer
bar open to see the HTML. ctrl-f is our friend.)
Are you sure we don't? Well, last time I used livepreview was probably
2007 or so, but it's still in preferences.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/special:search/livepreview also not very
useful.
See links for "Live preview" earlier on in my message (a.k.a. Ajax
Preview).
(Or to repeat:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Js/ajaxPreview which I
heartily recommend, and there are 3 alternative items linked at the bottom
of that page. The one in Special:Preferences isn't nearly as good.)
Re: HTML-preview: I suspect I've misunderstood that section of the Medium
post (I thought he was coming at it from a debugger angle, but possibly
not). Now that I re-read it, I think maybe he's just asking for
"synchronous scrolling & selection-highlighting" in the side-by-side
preview?
