  • WYSIWYG What You See Is What You Get. A program for writing web pages that allows you to move items around on the page like a word processor, and it automatically writes the HTML for the page. It is easy to make a page, however, sometimes the page has a lot of errors and/or bloated code.

    <P> This is a paragraph. </P>
    <DIV> This sets aside stuff in a division.</DIV>
