Frustrations

The frustrations that SnapEditor is aiming to solve are

  1. WYSIAWYG (what you see is almost what you get)
  2. unexpected behaviour
  3. messy HTML

In-place and form-based editors

SnapEditor provides both an in-place editor for situations where true WYSIWYG is needed, but still provides a form-based editor in case forms are still used.
