It's being run on a Linux box but Drupal (
http://drupal.org) can do
something like this. It support displaying full HTML and there's a
plug-in to allow it to use FCK Editor which makes text areas look like a
mini version of MS Word. If you need fine grained control over content,
Drupal will take a lot of customization but it seems to be pretty stable
and has lots of active development.

Subject: [WEB400] Alternatives to PmWiki?
I've used Alan Seiden's recent article in SystemiNews to install Zend
Core
and PmWiki.
While we like this Wiki, we feel the need to have something that is more
user friendly in terms of editing web page content. The codes used
within PmWiki seem to be pretty archane:
Lists: * for bulleted, # for numbered, :term:definition for definition
lists
Emphasis: ''italics'', '''bold''', '''''bold italics''''',
@@typewriter@@
(monospaced)
References: [[another page]], [[
http://www.example.com]], [[another page
|
link text]], [[#anchor]]
Groups: [[Group/Page]] displays Page, [[Group.Page]] displays
Group.Page,
[[Group(.Page)]] displays Group
Separators: !!, !!! for headings, ---- for horizontal line
I'm looking for a Wiki that would either have icons for formating
functions or support cutting and pasting from Word (with format
preservation). Googling leads me to the typical open source world: a
plethora of options with no real handle on what is a viable,
"mainstream"
approach. I'd be most interested in:
- a PHP based Wiki,
- rich text editor that supports IE and Firefox,
- based on flat files, not a database
midrange.com
