Is it possible to share markdown sources of task descriptions? It may be a link at concrete task page.

Do you want it for all tasks, or for some specific one?

I think I can add such functionality... But if not a secret - what do you want it for? :)

There is no secrets. I'm using the task decription as docstring in my source code. I generate html for navigation over tasks grouping them by volumes (now they are deleted), tags and my own marks. It's usefull for me to search tasks.

Now I'm using plain text, but it will looks better with markdown.

It is need for further tasks, but it's better if you can add such functionality for all tasks.

Huh! Luckily I myself really use markdown to store problem statements... :)

You should be able now to access these sources (when logged in) if you use the same urls as for viewing tasks, but substituting task_view with task_text.

I'm curious whether, by chance, you will publish your index somewhere (at github?) - of course without solutions.

Probably other people may find it useful (especially if you also have similar index for ProjectEuler for example) though I'm not sure how exactly they may use it...

Ah, and yes, I should not forgot that we wanted to make tags editable for top-rated users! I should work on this...

Thanks. No github or else resources. Only for my offline tools.
