I was just asked if I knew a user friendly HTML editor, as I have not used one since Frontpage 98 I have no idea. The users, bless their souls, have just got themselves a content management thingy, the only problem is that they need to submit HTML, hence the question...
There was nothing obvious in free tool and most of google seems to be online editors, I'b be shot suggesting such a tool. So any recommendations?

Too complex, I'd go for the simpler version.

Those user-friendly HTML editors usually spewed out reams of garbage HTML that would run only on IE6 and below.. are you sure that's the way they want to go?
Also, if they have a CMS why are the end users concerning themselves with HTML?

Their words, I have no idea what the tool does just that they need an editor...

don't most CMS include tinyMCE or similar that can be revealed to the editor team?
|
|
|
|

I bet most (if not all) of them do... Unless devs gave up after n-th change to the templates and implemented just one page template with just one big html field and tinyMCE turned off as revenge

They probably want one that embeds into the browser.
I googled for: "javascript wysiwyg html editor"
It depends on the CMS they are using.
Many of them support this out of the box, just turn it on.
TinyMCE and CKEditor or Raptor looked cool: https://www.raptor-editor.com/demo[^]

Surprising though people may think it, I would vote for Dreamweaver (I recognize that it is expensive and that using it for the specified purpose is well into "sledgehammer to crack peanut" territory). My wife is a competent computer user but very far from a techy type, and had to create what amounts to a simple website for her tenure application. After a short introduction to DW (which she gets very cheaply through her University) from me, and after I had written a couple of templates and some boilerplate JavaScript for her, she did the rest herself, and got rave reviews (and tenure!) for the result.

How complicated is the HTML?
Is markdown too complicated for them to learn? If the HTML would be handled by Markdown and the users are savvy enough to learn it, you could have them write markdown in any old text editor and then run it through a tool to convert it to HTML.

Point them to www3schools. Then notepad will work fine.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

A safety-conscious DIY enthusiast has been handed a life ban from every B&Q in the country after raising concerns about the company’s New Malden branch.
Raymond Meerabeau, 64, visited the B&Q warehouse in Shannon Corner by the A3 flyover and noticed the cover had come off a fuse box near the lifts, exposing wiring.
Way to go B&Q, your store has dangerous wiring and a customer shows you. Don't say thanks, say elephant off!

That's just like politicians do 
*No politics intended 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Since when do politicians really make politics?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I can't see how B&Q could possibly imagine coming out of this episode looking good. OK, the initial manager was panicked into taking a bad decision but then for the board to back him up after presumably meeting to discuss the issue and then go on declare it is a lifetime ban?
If this is true and the news became more widespread, you could imagine a popular campaign against B&Q with people photographing every possible H&S concern throughout its stores. It could escalate into a shitstorm quite rapidly.

Have you ever met the British? Apathy rules.
