AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a free LaTeX editor that provides a graphical interface for creating fractions, specifically one that displays a fraction bar with two empty boxes for the numerator and denominator. Current editors often only generate the LaTeX code \frac{}{}, which is seen as inefficient for users who prefer a visual approach to inputting content. The discussion highlights the need for a tool that simplifies the process of entering complex mathematical expressions without requiring users to manually manage nested code. LyX is mentioned as a potential solution, suggesting it may offer the desired graphical functionality.

Is there a free LaTex editor where you can click on a fraction button, and the fraction bar appears along with two empty boxes on top of and below it, representing the numerator and denominator?

The LaTex editors that I've seen, when you click on the fraction button, just produce this:

\frac{}{}

But I want a graphical:

box
------
box

where I can type what I want in the boxes, and then let the program generate the LaTex markup code \frac{content}{content} from what I entered into the graphical boxes.

It's just time-consuming when in generating long lines of markup code you have to keep track of what's nested in what.
