Wiki contains an "almost" WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet editor. MicrosoftWord is closer to a WYSIWYG editor. As you go from non-WYSIWYG to WYSIWYG editor, you make trade-offs. The trade-offs are not linear. In other words, some points along the gradient are a lot better than others. [non - WYSIWYG editor] easy to code, hard to use \/ [almost - WYSIWYG editor] ok to code, ok to use \/ [WYSIWYG editor] hard to code, easy to use ---- It's even more complex than that, as some tasks are easier on an almost WYSIWYG editor than on a fully WYSIWYG editor. See WhyWhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGetWorksNot. ''And some tasks are easiest (and/or have superior output) when there is no WYSIWYG involved at all.''
