Thanks for this.  I've not seen it before

There are quite a few GUI semi-wysiwyg front ends to (La)TeX.

Interesting that there are so many, and that besides LyX few
seem to have succeeded.  Guess it's an important problem that
is also difficult.

My approach is a rather different - it is to exploit running
TeX as a daemon
   http://www.pytex.org/texd

This allows for Instant Preview.  My application is simply
a means of show-casing this capability.  And making it
useful in simple contexts.

So what I'm really wanting to do is provide a component for
projects such as e:doc.

Any, this might be a bit off-topic.

And thanks again for the link.
