%   The MLA Package for LaTeX
%   By Ryan Aycock
%   Edited by Steven Wheelwright
%   October 15, 2005 
%   
%    For use with LaTeX and pdflatex.
%
%   To use, 
%   1. Put  \usepackage{mla}  in the preamble
%   2. After the \begin{document}, put \begin{mla}{Firstname}{Lastname}{Prof's lastname}{class name}{date}{Paper title}
%   3. Immediately - the next line - start typing your paper.
%   4. Put   \end{mla}   just before \end{document}
%
%   To use the bibliography feature,
%   1. Use  \begin{workscited} to start the bibliography.  There is no need to 
%      declare a new page or even type "Works Cited" at the top of the page.
%   2. Use   \bibent  before each entry.
%   3. Put   \end{workscited} at the end.
%
%
%
%
% The following template is what I use:
%
% \documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
% \usepackage{mla}
% \begin{document}
% \begin{mla}{Ryan}{Aycock}{Professor's last name}{Class name}{\today}{Really Cool Title}
% Start typing paragraph 1 here.
%
% Continue the rest of the paper as normal.
%
% \begin{workscited}
%
% \bibent
% author's last name, first name.  ``Paper Title."  \textit{Book Title}.  Date of publication.
%
% \end{workscited}
% \end{mla}
% \end{document}
%
%
%   Tips for writing MLA:
%   I strongly recommend using \documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
%   Some professors require block quotes to be singled space.  To accomplish this with 
%      the MLA package, use the blocks and blockm environments for single paragraph and
%      multiple paragraph cites, respectively.
%   LaTeX will not tab the first paragraph after new sections.  To get around this, use  \tab
%   LaTeX does not allow double spaces after periods like most term and research papers require.
%       When typing your paper, hit the spacebar twice as normal.  After you are finished with your project, 
%       do a find/replace by changing all double spaces into (space)\(space).
