Happy birthday, HTML WYSIWYG editors! On February 26th, 1991, Tim Berners-Lee presented to the world Nexus, the very first browser and WYSIWYG editor.

The software was initially named WorldWideWeb, but was later renamed to Nexus to avoid confusion with the nascent World Wide Web -- the collection of web web pages, accessible via the Internet. At the time it was created, WorldWideWeb was the only existing way to view the Web, supporting both the File Transfer Protocol and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

Today, more than quarter of a century and four HTML versions later, WYSIWYG editors have indisputably advanced much, but in their core they remain only improvements on the same general idea. What was once the work of a single person is now endeavored by huge companies with large specialist teams. Still, HTML remains a tool that everyone can master, and use to expose his ideas to the world.
