What Does WYSIWYG Stand For?

WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get

WYSIWYG, which stands for "What You See Is What You Get," refers to a type of editor or interface that allows users to view the final output of their content or design in real-time as they create it. This approach ensures that the appearance of the content on the screen closely matches how it will look once published or printed, simplifying the editing process and enhancing user experience by eliminating discrepancies between design and output. WYSIWYG is commonly used in web design, document editing, and software development tools.
