WYSIWYG is an acronym that stands for What You See Is What You Get. Within the world of software, it is a system that allows for content to be edited in a similar form to how it is "printed" or displayed. This can be in apps, web pages, presentation slides, or something like a big screen at a stadium. In general, WYSIWYG indicates the ability to manipulate the layout of a document, without having to type layout commands like HTML and CSS - or any other kind of markup language. Think about when you are working with text editing software - You know exactly what will be bold, and italic, just by looking at the formatting you have set the tool to use.
