You can't. You can delete a comment and then add a new one, though.

Edit:

Just for the record, you CAN edit comments now (for a brief period after you submit it).

    You can't see what it will look like when it's submitted, no.

    I totally and /completely/ <strike>get</strike> understand where you're coming from, though, as I have <b>no idea</b> how these words <i>will</i> be formatted.

  • I've noticed code blocks in comments - is that just the standard markdown code block, or is that something else?

    @spig, those would be formatted using backticks around the text.

  • For that you have to use two ` surrounding the code.

Add a new comment with your corrections in it, wait 30 seconds, delete the old one.

(It sure would be nice if the comment restrictions were lightened a little for users with a certain reputation threshold... but then, I dream of a world of ponies and rainbows and waffles too.)
