By "markup" here do you mean "Markdown"?

If so, there are a number of wysiwyg-like editors available, presuming that
two panes, one with the plain markdown, the other a real-time rendered
preview, is sufficient.

Atom (http://www.atom.io) is a very capable "hackable" editor which
supports Markdown with preview pane out of the box. It's open source and
supports Linux, Mac, and Windows

Remarkable (https://remarkableapp.github.io/
<https://remarkableapp.github.io/linux.html>) is a Windows/Linux open
source Markdown editor with live preview, and also will export HTML and PDF
out of the box. It does not claim MacOS support.

CuteMarkEd (https://cloose.github.io/CuteMarkEd/) uses Qt as it's platform,
and thus supports Linux, Windows, and possibly Mac if compiled from source.
It has similar features as the others.

 I also haven't been paying close attention so I don't know if pandoc (
http://pandoc.org/index.html) has been evaluated for document conversion.
It seems to support converting every input file format under discussion to
every output file format under discussion. Did I miss the discussion?
