I have tried installing Chenpress, FCKedit, and a handful of other half decent WYSIWYDG solutions with only minimal success not only in valid code but actually working properly with images and whatnot. For a full CMS I have been using some of the nightly releases of Mambo actually, which now supports CSS and produces pretty decent code on average. For awhile now I have been thinking of producing a "heap of code" that I could port to any given website that allows content changes and basic image manipulation but if I ever get around to doing that is up in the air.

Now all i have to do is define styles in a stylesheet called editor.css in the theme directory and those styles are available to the user. Styles like imgright and textjustify come in very handy ;-). I can give clients a few of the options they didn't have before without letting them insert a whole bunch of font tag crap into their site. I maintain control over styling, they get the ability to justify an image left or right and add a few highlight and headline styles to the text. It's enough to keep all of my clients happy so far. I haven't had any clients that want to "design" the page... the most strenuous request I get is the ability to add and move pictures around, and to be able to change font sizes. So as long as I can keep the font sizes within a given range and control how they display, I can turn the reigns over. If you want to see the code for the editor, just let me know. It's a lot sweeter than trying to get Chenpress or WYSIWYGPro to be XHTML compliant...

One of them works out great, as all they need to do is post a newsletter from time to time - the other one they can't get it through there head that it is not MS Word and I didn't install it so they could design their own pages. I constantly get calls about how to make pictures align to the right and how to draw box's, regardless of how many times I have to explain "Sorry its only there for content alterations, I can install a full CMS like we discussed a few times if it is that important."
