+
+## Getting Started
+
+MathQuill has a simple interface. This brief example creates a MathQuill element and renders, then reads a given input:
+```javascript
+var htmlElement = document.getElementById('some_id');
+var config = {
+  handlers: {edit: myEditHandler},
+  restrictMismatchedBrackets: true
+};
+var mathField = MQ.MathField(htmlElement, config);
+
+mathField.latex('2^{\\frac{3}{2}}'); // Renders the given LaTeX in the MathQuill field
+console.log(mathField.latex()); // Shows '2^{\frac{3}{2}}'
+```
+
+Check out our [Getting Started Guide](http://docs.mathquill.com/en/latest/Getting_Started/) for setup instructions and basic MathQuill usage.
