Why is it Necessary to Learn HTML If I Am Using a WYSIWYG Editor?

Posted by Ellegaard Qvist on April 28th, 2021

It is a fantastic question and one that's frequently asked by newbies interested in building a website. When a WYSIWYG editor will place everything you want in the right order desired simply by holding down a mouse click and dragging text and images to wherever you please, why would anyone want to bother learning the way the HTML source code works. If the web site you plan on building is merely for fun and hobby purposes, a WYSIWYG editor may very well be all you require. However if your desire would be to produce a business website, you may not wish to be restricted in reaching the highest standards available. When Atom Text Editor For Android made up of a WYSIWYG editor goes awry, which can happen, if you lack the data and ability to repair the problem the options available are significantly less than attractive. W here would you turn for help? What if Additional info became inoperative and unreachable on the Internet to everyone, and would remain so for days until the problem was fixed; could you afford the loss of revenue and reputation? Yes, you can hire someone familiar with coding to repair the problem at perhaps an hour or more, but which could prove costly if you have to do it more often than once or twice weekly. Worse yet, if the error creating the issue was one simple ">" bracket misplaced in the code, would you really rather hire an individual at one hour to enter one missing ">" bracket, or find and repair the problem yourself in seconds and pocket the money. That situation would be similar to calling a repair person to fix your TV only to be told the plug had somehow been knocked loose from the socket, and was simply plugged back in to get it working again, and being presented with a service charge. I cannot think about anything more frustrating than my car breaking down and prying open the hood to look at the motor, staring down into the belly of the car knowing absolutely nothing about where you can even begin looking for the issue, all the while feeling helpless and stupid and worse, knowing it will cost money to repair.
