'''What You See Is What You Get''' (often abbreviated to the acronym, '''WYSIWYG''') is a term first used at [[Xerox PARC]] to describe [[editor]]s which used a [[bit-mapped display]] (on the [[Alto]] [[workstation]]) to show what documents using multiple [[font]]s would look like when printed.

It has since come to mean the use of such systems to display [[multi-media]] content in its final form.
