What is a WYSIWYG Editor?

WYSIWYG Editors

WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors allow you to edit a website without having to know a speck of code. They allow you to work and edit content on your website and will create the code for you with easy to use options and icons.

Our Edit Content Window is a WYSIWYG Editor. You can add text to your pages by simply typing the text you wish to add and using the formatting options available. You can quickly add links, images and videos using the options within the Edit Content Window.

To ensure that this WYSIWYG Editor functions as you expect, it is important to remember that all content editors have their own formatting and code systems. When you paste text into this editor from another program, the code from these programs can interfere with the WYSIWYG Editor. To prevent this from occurring it is important to paste text into the editor through the “Paste as Plain Text” option.
