*Emacs was one of the first WYSIWYG editors, replacing the program TeX which uses mark-up commands for formatting Objections: *Emacs is not a WYSIWYG editor (it will become one somehow; the [GNU Task List] reads: "We are extending Emacs into a WYSIWYG word processor, to handle primarily linear text."). Emacs is a "display" (full-screen) "real-time" editor. Extension packages like hilit and font-lock, especially under X, add some limited visual hints to certain edit modes. *Emacs is an editor for plain text, TeX is a text formatter. The former does not replace the latter.
