LyX support most of the block and section elements. It supports tables and
figures. It allows also to include other documents inside the present
document.
The weekest point is the absence of support for inline elements. My
intention is to included support for this in the next development cycle.
One of my other wish is to have an helper browser to show wich elements
are allowed at present context.
