WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) is an alternative paradigm to WYSIWYG editors. The goal is that, at all times during editing, the rendered result should represent what will be seen later in a typical web browser. This may be custom-written or based upon one used in a web browser. The WYSIWYG view is achieved by embedding a layout engine. Because using a WYSIWYG editor may not require any HTML knowledge, they are often easier for an inexperienced computer user to get started with. WYSIWYG HTML editors provide an editing interface which resembles how the page will be displayed in a web browser. These palettes allow editing parameters in individual fields, or inserting new tags by filling out an onscreen form, and may include additional widgets to present and select options when editing parameters (such as previewing an image or text styles) or an outline editor to expand and collapse HTML objects and properties.

These editors typically include the option of using palette windows or dialog boxes to edit the text-based parameters of selected objects. To ease this requirement, some editors allow editing of the markup in more visually organized modes than simple color highlighting, but in modes not considered WYSIWYG. Text editors require user understanding of HTML and any other web technologies the designer wishes to use like CSS, JavaScript and server-side scripting languages. Some functions, such as link checking or validation may use online tools, requiring a network connection.

Text editors commonly used for HTML typically include either built-in functions or integration with external tools for such tasks as version control, link-checking and validation, code cleanup and formatting, spell-checking, uploading by FTP or WebDAV, and structuring as a project.
Wizards, tooltip prompts and autocompletion may help with common tasks.
Some editors additionally feature templates, toolbars and keyboard shortcuts to quickly insert common HTML elements and structures. Text editors intended for use with HTML usually provide at least syntax highlighting. There are two main varieties of HTML editors: text and WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors. 1.2.1 Difficulties in achieving WYSIWYG.
