Er, why not? *confused*
The term WYSIWYG is often used to describe user interfaces which give the
appearance that the user is directly manipulating the final output. Think
Microsoft Word.
Wikiwyg, on the other hand, is a live preview. You still type wikitext,
which is a code. [I happen to think wikiwyg is very cool, even if it isn't
WYSIWYG.]
or WYSIWYM.
I will have to look that one up.
WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) is the paradigm created for LyX. It
means that the things displayed on a computer screen should accurately
display the information that is trying to be conveyed rather than the actual
formatting.
How that would be helpful in wiki-page authoring, where formatting is part
of the meaning (unlike XML authoring, which is where WYSIWYM originates).
