WYSIWYM
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 that the actual
formatting.
WYSIWYM purposely sounds like WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), because it is an intended replacement for that paradigm.
