Are you advocating WYSIWYG?  This is diametrically wrong.

If you are looking at the appearance of a document, you can have no 
idea what it will look like after you add a single character to make 
that final editing correction: the amount of consequential change is 
unlimited.  If you are instead looking at the structure of a 
document, you may not know its precise appearance either before or 
after the edit, but you can be sure that both appearances will be 
what you are happy with.
