The style is a common +standard for writers in the humanities and is outlined in the MLA Style Manual +and the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. These files follow +definitions for the 7th and 8th editions of the MLA Handbook. Before using +biblatex-mla, you will need to install Biblatex. Biblatex is commonly +included with most installations of LaTeX, but it can also be found at +http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex + + +Manual Installation: +1. Locate your latex installation folder + - In OS X, it can be found at + ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/ +2. Create a new folder called "biblatex-mla" if there isn't already one there +3. Place the biblatex-mla files into this folder + + +Usage: +1. Call the MLA style in your Latex document using the following four lines in +your Latex preface: + \usepackage[american]{babel} + \usepackage{csquotes} + \usepackage[style=mla-new]{biblatex} + \addbibresource{<bibfile>} + - (replace "style=mla-new" with "style=mla" if you'd prefer to use the + style described in the old edition of the Handbook) + - (replace "<bibfile>" with the name of your .bib bibliography file) + - to use MLA-style footnotes, use the "autocite=footnote" package option +2. Cite a text with \autocite{<key>}, cite a page with +\autocite[<page>]{<key>}, and include a citational prenote---"'To be or not to +be,' he wrote (Shakespeare qtd. in Brown 34)"---with +\autocite[<prenote>][<page>]{<key>}. + - (replace <key>, <page>, and <prenote> with their respective elements) +3.
