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?

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.
