Has anyone developed a TeX front-end that presents What You See Is What
You Get (WYSIWYG) pages, and produces TeX output ?
Ideally, I'd like to use a "MS Word for Windows" document creation/editing
approach, with TeX as the intermediate language. For software
documentation, user manuals design documents, we use RCS, as the revision
control system, and it doen't like Word's mixed text format.
Of course, one can save Word docs in clear text format, but that's not
desirable, because you lose the control information.
Any WYSIWYG editor for TeX bobbing around ? Commercial or public is fine.
I am aware of the dvi previewers, although I haven't used them.
I'd like to make changes to documents by manipulating objects on the screen,
not in text - preview - back to text - preview - back to text.
If there isn't one, would it pay to develop one ?
