For a *simple* WYSIWYG solution, have a look at zim
(http://zim-wiki.org/). It is a desktop wiki, but it has support for basic
structure elements (headings, bold, italic, etc., lists, images,
hyperlinks). It has a native text-based format, and exports to
HTML/Markdown/ReST.
So, if you do not need any fancy features (tables, footnotes, etc.), it
may be a suitable WYSIWYG editor. I assume that the generated HTML is
clean, and it should be easier to handle than ODT.
