What You See Is What You Get. It's normally describing editors that display text the way it will be viewed when complete. ie, the exact opposite of the Posting Box in phpBB.

What You See Is What You Get.

It refers to design programs, usually HTML design editors.

Now, acronyms are much more foward and crude...

@EasyGoing

Hi, you now know what WYSIWYG (AND also, WTFSIWTFYG :D)

if you are looking for an "example" of such an application, TinyMCE is a good example.

Good in terms of.... that it defines what WYSIWYG is like.... security wise, its not a good example. ;)

Hope this helps,

-Matt
