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.]
Wikiwyg uses the browser's HTML editor widget, and converts the HTML back to
wikitext for saving -- hopefully to wikitext which will translate back to
what
you edited. ;)
You can also click a tab to look at the reconverted wikitext before you save.
. They
are different technologies.
