What are the functions wysiwyg editor

Hi,

I know there are many wysiwyg editor's such as AbiWord, Dreamweaver, etc. and all have different-different functions but I want to know what are the functions wysiwyg editor ??? What exactly is the wysiwyg editor ????

WYSIWYG is the acronym of W hat Y ou S ee I s W hat Y ou G et . It applies to word processors and other formatted text editors (like the editors of HTML ) that allow you to write a document directly seeing the final result, often the printed output. It says in contrast to other word processors, today rare, which was written on a view that showed the layout of text, to print the document. In the case of HTML editors that concept applies to those who can write the page on a preview similar to a word processor, dealing in this case the program to generate the source code in HTML.

In the area of web design WYSIWYG tools also exist within the so-called CMS (Content Management System), although a CMS does not have to be WYSIWYG, ie it can be a content manager management panel which does not correspond with the final design , but in this case, use a back-end or management panel to create, modify content, which will be reflected in the front-end or end users see. In the group of CMS WYSIWIG several applications, including some with flash technology, such as Easy Site Manager.

A good and current example of a specific editor is not WYSIWYG text is one that uses document format: LaTeX . Examples of WYSIWYG HTML editors include: Dreamweaver , NVU / Kompozer, versions of Composer in Netscape and Mozilla , Amaya , Writer (from OpenOffice.org ), Adobe GoLive, Frontpage. There are also editors that can be integrated into web page forms such as FCKeditor , TinyMCE , FreeRichTextEditor .

Unlike the binary format like PDF , which requires compilation phase, the HTML files are stored as text and thus readable by everyone. HTML editors and now XML often propose a text / source for correcting errors in non-editable mode wysiwig / Graphics ( SVG ). These errors occur when the pages come from publishers that do not conform strictly to the standards established by the W3C . Many word processing ( Writer of OpenOffice.org , Word for Microsoft Office ) repeat this ergonomics such screens, as written.
