Nearly WYSIWYG, and very powerful, is AmigaTeX.  TeX is normally a
command driven formatter, where you use the editor of your choice and
create files containing stuff like $\int_a:b e:x \dx$ and get back
gloriously formatted, auto-hyphenated, de-orphaned and -widowed text.
Last time I looked, Addison-Wesley was using it for their books.  Your
stuff can look just as good.

ON THE AMIGA!!! TeX is very user friendly, since you can run the editor,
TeX itself, and the screen previewer simultaneously.  This makes it easy
to see how what you are typing $$\vbox{\halign{ ... }}$$ will look
in the final printout.  In fact, the AmigaTeX system even speaks REXX.

Give it a look.

PS  No.  I don't got nuthin' to do with Radical Eye, the maker of AmigaTeX
    (and NeXT TeX, too??).
