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

TipTap
Editor.js
Quill.js
CKEditor 5
Slate.js

SSG are really a pain in the ass to work with, especially if you want something other than the standard theme.

    Maybe if you don’t know CSS?

    The problem isn’t really CSS, it’s that each theme has its own components with their own rules you have to learn. There’s no real standardization even within one kind of SSG.

    It would literally be much easier to just write everything the old fashioned way by hand.
