Some of us like to use the text math symbols rather than latex. Is it possible to implement a way to make fractions in this?

We have 5 common fractions in the editor symbol toolbarPrashantGokaraju said:Incorporating the functionality for these three things would really be nice.
It's easier if you just learn a little LaTeXPrashantGokaraju said:The link I posted shows how to make any fraction though
Text fractions are symbols used to represent fractions in written text, such as ½ for one half or ⅔ for two thirds. They are important because they help to clarify and accurately represent numerical information in writing.
To type text fractions on a computer, you can use the "Insert Symbol" function in word processing software or use keyboard shortcuts. On a mobile device, you can use the number keyboard to access text fractions or download a specialized keyboard app.
Yes, text fractions can be used in any type of writing, including academic papers, business documents, and personal writing. They are particularly useful in technical or scientific writing that involves a lot of numerical data.
There are no strict rules for using text fractions, but it is important to be consistent in their usage. It is also recommended to use text fractions for larger fractions (such as ¾) and to spell out smaller fractions (such as one third) for readability.
Yes, you can also use decimal numbers or words to represent fractions in writing. However, text fractions are preferred in technical or scientific writing as they are more precise and visually distinct from regular numbers.
