Support taking notes with mathematical equations

Explain the problem as you see it

There is no way to create notes containing complex mathematical equations.

Why is this a problem for you?

I'd like to take notes on topics like type theory and category theory.

Suggest a solution

Integrate MathJax or KaTeX to render equations from user entered TeX source. Ideally both inline equations and equation blocks would be supported. Being able to trigger equation markup with surrounding $ would be ideal for me, but I understand that translation of markdown characters are not part of your design at the moment.

You might look to Notion or Dropbox Paper for UX ideas. I like Obsidian a lot, but it's a slightly different editing model and might not match your vision.
