Lyx is an open source, structured document creation system. Conceptually, it falls somewhere between a markup editor and a word processor. The creators of Lyx have coined the term WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) to summarise the approach that Lyx takes to document creation.

Unfortunately, LyX doesn't handle complex documents very well. To get output it needs to use the local latex compiler, which is fine. Unfortunately Lyx often creates uncompilable latex even for the simplest thing. It's a fantastic concept, but needs a lot more work before I'd use it for anything at all complex.
