  WYSIWYG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WYSIWYG (pronounced /wɪziwɪg/, transcripted wizziwig), is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get, used in computing to describe a system in which content during editing appears very similar to the final product.
However, that is not the main attraction of WYSIWYG, which is the ability of the user to be able to visualise what he or she is doing.
Because designers of WYSIWYG applications typically have to account for a variety of different output devices, each of which has different capabilities, there are a number of problems that must be solved in each implementation.

WYSIWYG (pronounced "wizzy-wig") is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get, and is used in computing to refer to the technology that makes sure the image seen on the screen corresponds to what is printed out on paper.
Most programs, even Microsoft Office, are not truly WYSIWYG since printing and page formatting are still hidden from view.

 R.I.P. WYSIWYG - Results-Oriented UI Coming (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)
WYSIWYG was a great advance over earlier interactions, in which users specified their goals more abstractly and didn't see the results until far later.
Obviously, WYSIWYG was a great usability advance, as was the entire Mac-like GUI, which is why it survived for so long.
Another WYSIWYG downside is that it forces too much manual labor on users and requires a stretch of imagination to envision results in advance.

 WYSIWYG
This has nohting to do with WYSIWYG at all, as what you see on your screen while editing looks entirely different than what you will see later in your browser when the HTML file is rendered.
With WYSIWYG (together with some other technologies such as Postscript or TrueType fonts) it was possible to display a text exactly the way it will be printed later.
Editing a large text document or even a graphical document without WYSIWYG requires a lot of imagination or a lot of experience with similar document types to avoid having too many interations of putting something in, than having to render it for preview and then going back to the source code.

 What is WYSIWYG? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: what you see is what you get
A WYSIWYG (pronounced "wiz-ee-wig") editor or program is one that allows a developer to see what the end result will look like while the interface or document is being created.
WYSIWYG is an acronym for "what you see is what you get".
A WYSIWYG editor can be contrasted with more traditional editors that require the developer to enter descriptive codes (or markup) and do not permit an immediate way to see the results of the markup.

 ATPM 4.12 - Paradigm: WYSIWYG: Is it What You Want?
Since a WYSIWYG interface has to provide commands for formatting and layout in its menus and toolbars, there is no way it can be as optimized for text processing as a text editor is. This is unfortunate, since probably only 10% of the time it takes to compose a document is spent on formatting—maybe less.
WYSIWYG and non-WYSIWYG environments each have their uses, and neither is likely to replace the other.
WYSIWYG systems, on the other hand, give ultimate freedom—provided your software supports the specific feature you want and you are willing to take care of details that the computer could do better.

 Dan's Web Tips: Cleaning Up After WYSIWYG Editors
No WYSIWYG editor that I've encountered yet does links in this manner; instead, they all seem to force these links to be in the form of explicit filenames, and may even change your properly-formed directory-name links to a hardcoded "index" reference without you knowing it.
By default, many WYSIWYG editors fill in sections of code that are useful to users in "non-standard" browsing situations with un-helpful content.
Since WYSIWYG editors create HTML code based on the visual appearance of the document rather than its logical structure (even though HTML is a markup language intended to represent logical structure), it's likely to fail to "get the point" of your document's structure and mark it up logically.
