WYSIWYG Editor

What is a WYSIWYG Editor?

A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, also known as an HTML editor, allows users to create and format content exactly as it will appear on the published page. It eliminates the need for complex HTML coding by providing a user-friendly interface similar to word-processing applications like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
