This is a great misconception. There is no such thing as a WYSIWYG HTML
editor.
What You See Is What You Get simply does not apply. What you get depends
entirely on what browser you use. Users with the same browser as you
will see what you see (but even then they may have a different screen
size or resolution). Users with any other browser will almost certainly
see something different.
