Use case or problem

I type a lot of notes that contain complex formulas, I usually need to use at least one fraction per note.

Proposed solution

Having an easy way to insert a MathJax fraction, such as a GUI option or some other way to format it would be amazing. Currently the MathJax syntax is confusing to learn and hard to use. A built in feature that automatically formats fractions using the MathJax syntax would be amazing, similar to the fraction tool in Word.

Current workaround (optional)

Currently I am using the MathJax syntax and getting AI to write them for me, but it would be great to not have to do this.

There are some plugins which could make it easier for you (GitHub - danzilberdan/obsidian-mathlive: The must-have plugin for math in Obsidian · GitHub, GitHub - greasycat/BetterMathjax · GitHub, GitHub - slateblua/mathtype: Type math faster · GitHub)

However, if you work in a field that requires writing formulas regularly, I would recommend getting used to the syntax, as it is quite commonly used.
