There's the LyX editor.  Semi-WYSIWYG, and does native SGML, if I recall
correctly.  Then you can supposedly use docbook to generate your
different output formats.  The XFree86 tree does multiple format outputs
for docs, but uses a custom doc standard so that LyX usage is more
painful than just hand editing the SGML (at least for simple changes.)

I forget if LyX supports TeX editing natively...
