What is the name of a web editor in which you see the final site as it will display?

• A. Code Editor
• B. WYSIWYG
• C. Text Editor
• D. Previewer

Answer: (B)

Seeing the final result while you edit is the hallmark of a WYSIWYG editor. WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get, meaning the editor renders the page as it will appear in a browser as you work on it. You can drag, drop, type, and style elements and immediately see how those changes affect layout, typography, and visuals, without having to interpret code first. This contrasts with a code editor, which focuses on editing the underlying HTML/CSS as text, and a generic text editor, which doesn’t render the page at all. A separate previewer might show a rendered view, but it usually isn’t integrated into the editing experience the way a WYSIWYG editor is. So, the term that best matches “a web editor in which you see the final site as it will display” is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
