WYSIWYG Editor

The “What You See is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) editor allows the content of the HTML Snippet component to be edited as rendered HTML content (with text, images, tables, styles, etc.), rather than HTML code. The WYSIWYG editor displays the HTML content as it will appear to the end user, potentially simplifying the editing process.
