für einen Enduser, der kein HTML kann und nur die Contents auf statischen
Seiten ändern will, brauche ich einen einfach zu bedienenden WYSIWYG-Editor.
Wäre dankbar für Empfehlungen!

If all you want to do is change text on an existing site, you don't
need to know HTML, and you can just use a regular text editor. If you
want to change content with HTML, best learn HTML (it's not more
difficult than learning to use a WYSIWYG program), because WYSIWYG
doesn't really exist.

There are CMS packages (e.g. the upcoming WordPress 2.0, for example) that
also embed a high-quality WYSIWYG editors. These editors /sometimes/ pro-
duced fairly clean HTML code. I heard good things about NVU (as suggested
elsewhere), but I think it's 'healthier' never to depend on desktop-side
software and have no hands-on experience with raw HTML.

You don't speak/write English? Did you check this groop? Than you would
have noticed that this is an international group that uses English to
communicate (mainly). Using English gives you a better chance to get a
response.

Also, had you checked this group you would have seen it is all about
_html_. So asking about altering content without knowledge of markup is a
bit tricky. But hey, you're not the first to ask.
So, had you browsed through this group or searched it with Google, you
would probably have found several threads about WYSI(n)WYG editors, the
pro's and con's, and which is 'good' (very relative).

My bet is, you are better of with a properly set up CMS that with a
WYSI(n)WYG editor. If you really need an editor, I've heard good things
about NVU, <URL:http://www.nvu.com/>. I've never used it, but it seems to
do a relatively proper job, not messing up the markup too much.

I used it briefly to test it out, and found that while it will produce
valid/well-formed markup, it likes to throw a lot of unnecessary and
unwanted style attributes throughout the document, particularly with
copy & paste operations.
