## Using MathLive

**To add a mathfield element to your page** use a `<math-field>` tag.

It works just like a `<textarea>` or `<button>` element. You can manipulate the
mathfield using methods of the element and listen for events to be notified when
its internal state changes.

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <body>
    <math-field>f(x)=</math-field>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/mathlive"></script>
  </body>
</html>
```
