What are HTML, CSS, WYSIWYG?

To simplify:

HTML:
HyperText Markup Language; the code you see when you select "View
source" in your browser. It's a standard used for structuring and
formatting a web page.

CSS:
Cascading Style Sheets; a standard used together with HTML for
presentation and layout. This is usually placed in a seperate file, and
linked to in the HTML header to apply a common presentation to multiple
web pages (ie. you'll only have to change the .css file to update a
color/font/background to the layout).

WYSIWYG:
What You See Is What You Get; a method of visually designing a web
page. Most commonly used by web design beginners who don't want to
think much of the underlying HTML code. Even more commonly used when
*learning* the basics of HTML (if viewing the source code
side-by-side). Common WYSIWYG web designing tools include NVU (open
source), Adobe/Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft
FrontPage/Expression.
