WYSIWYG
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WYSIWYG (pronounced /ˈwɪziwɪg/[1] or /ˈwɪzɪwɪg/[2]), is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get, used in computing to describe a system where things you type when you are editing appear almost the same to the final output,[3] which might be a printed document, a web page, a powerpoint presentation or even the lighting for a concert. This term is commonly used when people talk about web design.
