Zope doesn't give you this out of the box but there a number of
Products that can extend Zope in this direction (and which have been
mentioned in replies).

More generally, you can use _any_ of a wide range of TTW editing
widgets within the Zope framework. See

http://www.bris.ac.uk/ISC/cms/ttw.html

for a list of these. Some of them are now developing in an XML
direction (e.g. Xopus http://www.q42.nl/products/editors.html ).
