WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)
WYSIWYG is an acronym that stands for “what you see is what you get.” This term is often used in the software development industry to describe a type of editing software that allows users to edit content in the same form that it would be displayed as a finished product. WYSIWYG software allows users to manipulate the layout of documents without having to type out editing commands. Today, many content management systems (CMSs) are considered WYSIWYG solutions, as they allow web developers to create dynamic websites using little to no code.
