Directly typing LaTeX gets unwieldy for longer and more complicated expressions, so I write those in LyX first and then copy-and-paste the LaTeX code into Obsidian.

LyX! Seriously, at least give it a look. Read about it for 10 minutes. Know that you can change the background color from that aweful beige.

Im personally a huge fan of LyX, a LaTeX-based word processor that takes care of the actual LaTeX code without you having to touch it (but you can if you want, e.g., if there’s a special need).

It’s fringe, but I’ll just throw LyX into the mix.

But if you want to focus on writing and want to do little to no coding, you can have a look at LyX.
