Talk:WYSIWYM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] This is serious?

I always thought "what you see is what you meant" was black humor about how Lyx likes to hide formatting problems in figures and equations. It will look fine in the editor, but then some invisible element will be mismatched and break the pdf. So what I see is what I meant, but what I get is a different story. --Reuben 02:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definition is probably incomplete

The definition of 'WYSIWYM' in the second paragraph does not differentiate WYSIWYM from pre-LyX formatting systems such as Scribe and several similar systems. The 'obvious' difference seems to be that Scribe et al. were batch-oriented, but it's not clear that that is significant. Some clarification is needed here, I think.Athulin (talk) 06:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
