In computing, WYSIWYG (/ˈwɪziwɪɡ/ WIZ-ee-wig), an acronym for what you see is what you get,[1] refers to software that allows content to be edited in a form that resembles its appearance when printed or displayed as a finished product,[2] such as a printed document, web page, or slide presentation.
