I just wanted to add that you should probably call that WYGIWYG instead 
of WYSINWYG.

You know WYGIWYG like in the old printer and Wordperfect days.

"What You Get Is What You Get": Wanna see how it looks printed out? Just 
print it out and look at the paper.

Wanne see what this code does? Just run it and see what happens ;-)
