What is a WYSIWYG editer?

Answer 1

A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor allows a web page creator to visually move elements around on a rendered page, rather than writing raw HTML code and using a browser to render it.

Obviously, the level of skill required when instant feedback is available is significantly less than if one were to write HTML code, as the editor removes the need for the HTML/CSS code to be interpreted by the author at the time the page is created.

Some WYSIWYG editors are so good at producing good HTML, that they can be employed by individuals with no HTML/CSS experience whatsoever and achieve good, valid HTML that does as the user intended.

Answer 2

WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. The HTML editor shows you exactly what you will see on the browser page. It is similar to a word processor that automatically generates the HTML code for you.

Answer 3

Answer 4
