Overview

tinyWYM Editor was created to help inexperienced WordPress users create cleaner, more semantic markup, and to avoid some of the pitfalls of WordPress’s standard WYSIWYG editor. It does this by labelling and highlighting all HTML elements in the editor, creating a visual representation of the HTML being generated.

tinyWYM Editor also gives more experience users all the control and flexibility of the text editor without having to leave the visual editor. Create and edit any HTML element, add attributes, and wrap or unwrap elements all from the visual editor.

See the Screenshots and FAQ sections for details on how to use tinyWYM Editor.

Awsome approach

by farior·7 years ago·1 reply

This plugin is great for people that have minor HTML knowledge, just AWESOME idea! It could be great to strip the code on even deeper level for advanced users, I’m still not sure what is the best approach to such functionality…

Great!

Great!
But when display in visual, part which overflow is hidden
I have to click icon eyes to disable it, and after editor, i click icon eyes to enable it again and i select text, click <> and input tag & style

excellent addition

by James Marlow·9 years ago

actually enjoy using the app; what I’d like to see though is something like a full blown html editor with search features, but the front end on this adds some functionality for search-visual rundown on what you have. This app lets you see what element are presently there and some that may need to be deleted. You can delete them from the front or back, but it is easy to see what is in the way on the front. It is somewhat like having an intermediate preview page.

Fantastic

At long last: Now we can see the container hierarchy while editing visually, and manipulate it too!

The plugin author is quick to respond, clear friendly and helpful.

Unreserved recommendation!

Awesome
