In this context, MathSpad should be worth at least having a look at:

http://www.win.tue.nl/cs/wp/mathspad/

>From that page:

  MathSpad (pronounced Maths-pad) is a system that aims to take
  the misery out of ``logical design'' systems without
  sacrificing any of their advantages over WYSIWYG systems.
  It is a general-purpose structure editor that is
  particularly useful for writing articles that contain
  substantial amounts of mathematical calculations. 

  The innovatory feature of MathSpad is the notion of a stencil.
  A stencil defines two views of a document, the
  on-screen view and the output view.
  The on-screen view is (almost) WYSIWYG whilst the output view
  is a file written in an ascii-based markup language.
  The system is optimised for use with producing TeX and LaTeX,
  but it can also be used to produce HTML or troff documents,
  input to a symbolic mathematics package etc..
