Hi S.,
Some time ago, I read a nice article titled "What
you see is all you
get" but I cannot find the link (and Google fails me miserably).
Could it have been ‘Text processing vs word processors’ from Peter
Schaffter, the author of the troff mom macros. It starts with
‘When you use a word processor, your screen persistently displays an
updated image of the finished document. Word for word, line for
line, What You See Is What You Get.’

His -mom, have to be careful here, covers a lot of ground.
