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

Posted by Ellegaard Qvist on April 28th, 2021

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