Using lyx/mathed as some kind of "filter" from plain LaTeX math into some
kind of "typesetting" information should be fairly easy.

We could simply implement a painter to print lines like

text 100 200 12 "x"
line 110 230 
text 150 200 12 "2"

when "drawing"  \frac{x}{2} instead of drawing anything on screan. 

When I think about it... piping this to Tk's canvas widget and using the
TclTk browser plugin total effort should be well below 500 LOC and could be
a feasible solution already.

Where is this "advanced editor" located?
