Do you know the (apparently dead) project named e:doc? You can find it here:

It's a kind of word processor that can produce final documents to various formats using backends, and one of the backends is for LaTeX.
It's written in Perl, but with Perl::Tk as a tool-kit, so it is quite close to Tkinter. There may be some ideas to steal from it.
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.
