Here's a live demo and screenshot for an HTML/CSS based word processor:

I'm pushing for the note taking app that's been mocked up by hcabaguio; it fits the elementary HIG, plus its simplicity is beautiful. I'd much prefer using it over a traditional word processor for 95% of my writing needs. ~cassidyjames
What about Scratch? ~grzesiek1e5
"Scratch" is a text editor, like Gedit, not a text processor like AbiWord. It's not made for that and adapting it for word processing is worse than writing an independent text processor.
Oh, ok.
