Hi there
Just wondering if this gives you a preview using the stylesheet the site uses so that it actually looks as it would look when published. if not, I’m a bit confused as to its use…
Would love to be enlightened :)
Thanks

No, it does not use a site stylesheet. It shows the same thing as a built-in Visual Editor.
Does this plugin help us to preview the post we are composing? Is it same like previewing the article before publishing? Then I think I’ll have to download and see this plugin in action. I was also looking at the comment preview plugin, how does that work? I think it would be better if you can include a screenshot so it will be easier to understand what the plugin will actually do.
See my previous comment.
