WYSIWYG

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 edit on the on-screen editor 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. Web designers often use this word to talk about their work.
