WYSIWYG editor

Live preview composer

A WYSIWYG editor is software that displays content during editing exactly as it will appear when published or printed.

The acronym stands for "what you see is what you get." These editors let users format text, insert images, and design layouts visually rather than writing code: The blog platform includes a WYSIWYG editor so you don't need to know HTML.
