Added example code
'''LaTeX''' is a [[computer language|computer typesetting language]] for [[mathematical]] [[markup]]. It was designed and developed by Leslie Lamport<ref>Gratzer, G. ''First Steps in LaTeX''. Birkhauser, Boston; p. xiv (1999) [http://books.google.com/books?id=mLdg5ZdDKToC&lpg=PP1&pg=PR14#v=onepage&q&f=false]</ref> as an extension of TeX, an existing typesetting language developed by [[Donald Knuth]]. LaTeX is used nearly universally by [[mathematician]]s, [[physicist]]s, [[engineer]]s, [[computer scientist]]s and other scientists in need of technical [[formatting]] in their publications.

==Example==
\documentclass{12pt}[article] %Specifies the font size and the document style
\begin{document} %Begins the document
\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{2}
\end{document} %Document closing tag
This LaTeX code would output:
<math>\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{2}</math>
