First Check
Please provide a concise description of the problem that would be addressed by this feature.
There are two types of numbers that appear in recipes: those which should be multiplied with servings (e.g. "add 1 ounce of milk"), and those that should not (e.g. "Set oven to 220°C"). Mealie supports increasing the number of servings of a recipe being made, multiplying the ingredients, but there is no consideration for values presented in instruction steps.
Please provide a concise description of the feature that would resolve your issue.
I would like to propose that it should be possible to surround numbers and their associated units of the former type with $ (e.g. "add $1 ounce$ of milk") to indicate that it is a number that should be appropriately automatically multiplied when increasing the servings being made (e.g. when 2x the base level of servings is selected, it would change to "add 2 ounces of milk" — note that the units also changed to their appropriate plural form).
Please consider and list out some caveats or tradeoffs made in your design decision
There should be text added below the "Attach images by dragging & dropping them in the editor" to explain this function.
