And by that I mean,

An http server that serves word-like rich formatted text documents and includes a web-based rich formatting text editor to write and edit these documents.

With some searching I found these might be candidates

Ghost
WriteFreely / Write.as
Plume

And maybe the following editors in some kind of standalone mode

Editor.js
Quill.js
CKEditor 5
Slate.js

    There are probably thousands of different static website generators that can make a more beautiful website out of the box, for free.

      I want something that is more akin to using microsoft word except it’s in the browser and not made by satan Something I can recomment to people and know they’re not going to come back to me and ask “what is a markdown code block”

          As far as the editor, this is great. I pasted formatted text out of libre office into it and everything was fine except the images. Way better than a lot of the options here.

          Althought one caveat, and it might be a big one,
          It seems it can’t actually host files publicly, you need to publish them to a third party cloud hosting platform…

          But other wise, it’s very nice…
          There has to be a way !
