+Bugs
+====
+
+* Not really a bug, but specifying more than one of `mla7`, `mla8`
+ or `mla8alt` will simply use the last one specified.
+ Example: options `mla7,mla8alt` will use `mla8alt`, and
+ `mla8,mla7` will use `mla7`.
+ This is normal behavior in most classes, but I thought
+ I ought to specify this somewhere before someone somehow
+ gets confused.

+The LaTeX Project Public License
+=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
+
+LPPL Version 1.3c 2008-05-04
+
+Copyright 1999 2002-2008 LaTeX3 Project
+ Everyone is allowed to distribute verbatim copies of this
+ license document, but modification of it is not allowed.
+
+
+PREAMBLE
+========
+
+The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) is the primary license under
+which the LaTeX kernel and the base LaTeX packages are distributed.
+
+You may use this license for any work of which you hold the copyright
+and which you wish to distribute. This license may be particularly
+suitable if your work is TeX-related (such as a LaTeX package), but
+it is written in such a way that you can use it even if your work is
+unrelated to TeX.
+
+The section `WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE WORKS UNDER THIS LICENSE',
+below, gives instructions, examples, and recommendations for authors
+who are considering distributing their works under this license.
+
+This license gives conditions under which a work may be distributed
+and modified, as well as conditions under which modified versions of
+that work may be distributed.
+
+We, the LaTeX3 Project, believe that the conditions below give you
+the freedom to make and distribute modified versions of your work
+that conform with whatever technical specifications you wish while
+maintaining the availability, integrity, and reliability of
+that work. If you do not see how to achieve your goal while
+meeting these conditions, then read the document `cfgguide.tex'
+and `modguide.tex' in the base LaTeX distribution for suggestions.
+
+
+DEFINITIONS
+===========
+
+In this license document the following terms are used:
+
+ `Work'
+ Any work being distributed under this License.
+
+ `Derived Work'
+ Any work that under any applicable law is derived from the Work.
+
+ `Modification'
+ Any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any applicable
+ law -- for example, the production of a file containing an
+ original file associated with the Work or a significant portion of
+ such a file, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
+ translated into another language.
+
+ `Modify'
+ To apply any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any
+ applicable law.
+
+ `Distribution'
+ Making copies of the Work available from one person to another, in
+ whole or in part. Distribution includes (but is not limited to)
+ making any electronic components of the Work accessible by
+ file transfer protocols such as FTP or HTTP or by shared file
+ systems such as Sun's Network File System (NFS).
+
+ `Compiled Work'
+ A version of the Work that has been processed into a form where it
+ is directly usable on a computer system. This processing may
+ include using installation facilities provided by the Work,
+ transformations of the Work, copying of components of the Work, or
+ other activities. Note that modification of any installation
+ facilities provided by the Work constitutes modification of the Work.
+
+ `Current Maintainer'
+ A person or persons nominated as such within the Work. If there is
+ no such explicit nomination then it is the `Copyright Holder' under
+ any applicable law.
+
+ `Base Interpreter'
+ A program or process that is normally needed for running or
+ interpreting a part or the whole of the Work.
+
+ A Base Interpreter may depend on external components but these
+ are not considered part of the Base Interpreter provided that each
+ external component clearly identifies itself whenever it is used
+ interactively. Unless explicitly specified when applying the
+ license to the Work, the only applicable Base Interpreter is a
+ `LaTeX-Format' or in the case of files belonging to the
+ `LaTeX-format' a program implementing the `TeX language'.
+
+
+
+CONDITIONS ON DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+===========================================
+
+1. Activities other than distribution and/or modification of the Work
+are not covered by this license; they are outside its scope. In
+particular, the act of running the Work is not restricted and no
+requirements are made concerning any offers of support for the Work.
+
+2. You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of the Work as you
+received it. Distribution of only part of the Work is considered
+modification of the Work, and no right to distribute such a Derived
+Work may be assumed under the terms of this clause.
+
+3. You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a
+complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2
+above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that
+the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly
+as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work
+directly from the Work.
+
+4. If you are the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may, without
+restriction, modify the Work, thus creating a Derived Work. You may
+also distribute the Derived Work without restriction, including
+Compiled Works generated from the Derived Work. Derived Works
+distributed in this manner by the Current Maintainer are considered to
+be updated versions of the Work.
+
+5. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may modify
+your copy of the Work, thus creating a Derived Work based on the Work,
+and compile this Derived Work, thus creating a Compiled Work based on
+the Derived Work.
+
+6. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may
+distribute a Derived Work provided the following conditions are met
+for every component of the Work unless that component clearly states
+in the copyright notice that it is exempt from that condition. Only
+the Current Maintainer is allowed to add such statements of exemption
+to a component of the Work.
+
+ a. If a component of this Derived Work can be a direct replacement
+ for a component of the Work when that component is used with the
+ Base Interpreter, then, wherever this component of the Work
+ identifies itself to the user when used interactively with that
+ Base Interpreter, the replacement component of this Derived Work
+ clearly and unambiguously identifies itself as a modified version
+ of this component to the user when used interactively with that
+ Base Interpreter.
+
+ b. Every component of the Derived Work contains prominent notices
+ detailing the nature of the changes to that component, or a
+ prominent reference to another file that is distributed as part
+ of the Derived Work and that contains a complete and accurate log
+ of the changes.
+
+ c. No information in the Derived Work implies that any persons,
+ including (but not limited to) the authors of the original version
+ of the Work, provide any support, including (but not limited to)
+ the reporting and handling of errors, to recipients of the
+ Derived Work unless those persons have stated explicitly that
+ they do provide such support for the Derived Work.
+
+ d. You distribute at least one of the following with the Derived Work:
+
+ 1. A complete, unmodified copy of the Work;
+ if your distribution of a modified component is made by
+ offering access to copy the modified component from a
+ designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
+ the Work from the same or some similar place meets this
+ condition, even though third parties are not compelled to
+ copy the Work along with the modified component;
+
+ 2. Information that is sufficient to obtain a complete,
+ unmodified copy of the Work.
+
+7. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may
+distribute a Compiled Work generated from a Derived Work, as long as
+the Derived Work is distributed to all recipients of the Compiled
+Work, and as long as the conditions of Clause 6, above, are met with
+regard to the Derived Work.
+
+8. The conditions above are not intended to prohibit, and hence do not
+apply to, the modification, by any method, of any component so that it
+becomes identical to an updated version of that component of the Work as
+it is distributed by the Current Maintainer under Clause 4, above.
+
+9. Distribution of the Work or any Derived Work in an alternative
+format, where the Work or that Derived Work (in whole or in part) is
+then produced by applying some process to that format, does not relax or
+nullify any sections of this license as they pertain to the results of
+applying that process.
+
+10. a. A Derived Work may be distributed under a different license
+ provided that license itself honors the conditions listed in
+ Clause 6 above, in regard to the Work, though it does not have
+ to honor the rest of the conditions in this license.
+
+ b. If a Derived Work is distributed under a different license, that
+ Derived Work must provide sufficient documentation as part of
+ itself to allow each recipient of that Derived Work to honor the
+ restrictions in Clause 6 above, concerning changes from the Work.
+
+11. This license places no restrictions on works that are unrelated to
+the Work, nor does this license place any restrictions on aggregating
+such works with the Work by any means.
+
+12. Nothing in this license is intended to, or may be used to, prevent
+complete compliance by all parties with all applicable laws.
+
+
+NO WARRANTY
+===========
+
+There is no warranty for the Work. Except when otherwise stated in
+writing, the Copyright Holder provides the Work `as is', without
+warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not
+limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
+particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance
+of the Work is with you. Should the Work prove defective, you assume
+the cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction.
+
+In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing
+will The Copyright Holder, or any author named in the components of the
+Work, or any other party who may distribute and/or modify the Work as
+permitted above, be liable to you for damages, including any general,
+special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of any use of
+the Work or out of inability to use the Work (including, but not limited
+to, loss of data, data being rendered inaccurate, or losses sustained by
+anyone as a result of any failure of the Work to operate with any other
+programs), even if the Copyright Holder or said author or said other
+party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+
+MAINTENANCE OF THE WORK
+=======================
+
+The Work has the status `author-maintained' if the Copyright Holder
+explicitly and prominently states near the primary copyright notice in
+the Work that the Work can only be maintained by the Copyright Holder
+or simply that it is `author-maintained'.
+
+The Work has the status `maintained' if there is a Current Maintainer
+who has indicated in the Work that they are willing to receive error
+reports for the Work (for example, by supplying a valid e-mail
+address). It is not required for the Current Maintainer to acknowledge
+or act upon these error reports.
+
+The Work changes from status `maintained' to `unmaintained' if there
+is no Current Maintainer, or the person stated to be Current
+Maintainer of the work cannot be reached through the indicated means
+of communication for a period of six months, and there are no other
+significant signs of active maintenance.
+
+You can become the Current Maintainer of the Work by agreement with
+any existing Current Maintainer to take over this role.
+
+If the Work is unmaintained, you can become the Current Maintainer of
+the Work through the following steps:
+
+ 1. Make a reasonable attempt to trace the Current Maintainer (and
+ the Copyright Holder, if the two differ) through the means of
+ an Internet or similar search.
+
+ 2. If this search is successful, then enquire whether the Work
+ is still maintained.
+
+ a. If it is being maintained, then ask the Current Maintainer
+ to update their communication data within one month.
+
+ b. If the search is unsuccessful or no action to resume active
+ maintenance is taken by the Current Maintainer, then announce
+ within the pertinent community your intention to take over
+ maintenance. (If the Work is a LaTeX work, this could be
+ done, for example, by posting to comp.text.tex.)
+
+ 3a. If the Current Maintainer is reachable and agrees to pass
+ maintenance of the Work to you, then this takes effect
+ immediately upon announcement.
+
+ b. If the Current Maintainer is not reachable and the Copyright
+ Holder agrees that maintenance of the Work be passed to you,
+ then this takes effect immediately upon announcement.
+
+ 4. If you make an `intention announcement' as described in 2b. above
+ and after three months your intention is challenged neither by
+ the Current Maintainer nor by the Copyright Holder nor by other
+ people, then you may arrange for the Work to be changed so as
+ to name you as the (new) Current Maintainer.
+
+ 5. If the previously unreachable Current Maintainer becomes
+ reachable once more within three months of a change completed
+ under the terms of 3b) or 4), then that Current Maintainer must
+ become or remain the Current Maintainer upon request provided
+ they then update their communication data within one month.
+
+A change in the Current Maintainer does not, of itself, alter the fact
+that the Work is distributed under the LPPL license.
+
+If you become the Current Maintainer of the Work, you should
+immediately provide, within the Work, a prominent and unambiguous
+statement of your status as Current Maintainer. You should also
+announce your new status to the same pertinent community as
+in 2b) above.
+
+
+WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE WORKS UNDER THIS LICENSE
+======================================================
+
+This section contains important instructions, examples, and
+recommendations for authors who are considering distributing their
+works under this license. These authors are addressed as `you' in
+this section.
+
+Choosing This License or Another License
+----------------------------------------
+
+If for any part of your work you want or need to use *distribution*
+conditions that differ significantly from those in this license, then
+do not refer to this license anywhere in your work but, instead,
+distribute your work under a different license. You may use the text
+of this license as a model for your own license, but your license
+should not refer to the LPPL or otherwise give the impression that
+your work is distributed under the LPPL.
+
+The document `modguide.tex' in the base LaTeX distribution explains
+the motivation behind the conditions of this license. It explains,
+for example, why distributing LaTeX under the GNU General Public
+License (GPL) was considered inappropriate. Even if your work is
+unrelated to LaTeX, the discussion in `modguide.tex' may still be
+relevant, and authors intending to distribute their works under any
+license are encouraged to read it.
+
+A Recommendation on Modification Without Distribution
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+It is wise never to modify a component of the Work, even for your own
+personal use, without also meeting the above conditions for
+distributing the modified component. While you might intend that such
+modifications will never be distributed, often this will happen by
+accident -- you may forget that you have modified that component; or
+it may not occur to you when allowing others to access the modified
+version that you are thus distributing it and violating the conditions
+of this license in ways that could have legal implications and, worse,
+cause problems for the community. It is therefore usually in your
+best interest to keep your copy of the Work identical with the public
+one. Many works provide ways to control the behavior of that work
+without altering any of its licensed components.
+
+How to Use This License
+-----------------------
+
+To use this license, place in each of the components of your work both
+an explicit copyright notice including your name and the year the work
+was authored and/or last substantially modified. Include also a
+statement that the distribution and/or modification of that
+component is constrained by the conditions in this license.
+
+Here is an example of such a notice and statement:
+
+ %% pig.dtx
+ %% Copyright 2005 M. Y. Name
+ %
+ % This work may be distributed and/or modified under the
+ % conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3
+ % of this license or (at your option) any later version.
+ % The latest version of this license is in
+ % http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
+ % and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX
+ % version 2005/12/01 or later.
+ %
+ % This work has the LPPL maintenance status `maintained'.
+ %
+ % The Current Maintainer of this work is M. Y. Name.
+ %
+ % This work consists of the files pig.dtx and pig.ins
+ % and the derived file pig.sty.
+
+Given such a notice and statement in a file, the conditions
+given in this license document would apply, with the `Work' referring
+to the three files `pig.dtx', `pig.ins', and `pig.sty' (the last being
+generated from `pig.dtx' using `pig.ins'), the `Base Interpreter'
+referring to any `LaTeX-Format', and both `Copyright Holder' and
+`Current Maintainer' referring to the person `M. Y. Name'.
+
+If you do not want the Maintenance section of LPPL to apply to your
+Work, change `maintained' above into `author-maintained'.
+However, we recommend that you use `maintained', as the Maintenance
+section was added in order to ensure that your Work remains useful to
+the community even when you can no longer maintain and support it
+yourself.
+
+Derived Works That Are Not Replacements
+---------------------------------------
+
+Several clauses of the LPPL specify means to provide reliability and
+stability for the user community. They therefore concern themselves
+with the case that a Derived Work is intended to be used as a
+(compatible or incompatible) replacement of the original Work. If
+this is not the case (e.g., if a few lines of code are reused for a
+completely different task), then clauses 6b and 6d shall not apply.
+
+
+Important Recommendations
+-------------------------
+
+ Defining What Constitutes the Work
+
+ The LPPL requires that distributions of the Work contain all the
+ files of the Work. It is therefore important that you provide a
+ way for the licensee to determine which files constitute the Work.
+ This could, for example, be achieved by explicitly listing all the
+ files of the Work near the copyright notice of each file or by
+ using a line such as:
+
+ % This work consists of all files listed in manifest.txt.
+
+ in that place. In the absence of an unequivocal list it might be
+ impossible for the licensee to determine what is considered by you
+ to comprise the Work and, in such a case, the licensee would be
+ entitled to make reasonable conjectures as to which files comprise
+ the Work.

+mla.cls
+=======
+
+LaTeX class for MLA papers.
+
+Abstract
+--------
+
+In the United States, secondary and undergraduate students
+are generally expected to adhere to the format prescribed by
+the Modern Language Association (MLA) for typewritten essays,
+research papers and writings.
+Sadly, the tool of choice is usually Microsoft Word,
+even amongst those fluent with TeX.
+
+Though there *are* some templates and tools to aid in writing
+in the MLA format using LaTeX, none fully met the expectations
+of the author.
+So *voilĂ *, there now exists an `mla.cls` proper:
+a simple, straightforward class for composing papers almost
+perfectly adherent to the MLA style guide.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+Documentation and source are combined into a
+[`.dtx` file](https://texfaq.org/FAQ-dtx),
+as is typical for LaTeX packages.
+To read the documentation, run `mla.dtx` through LaTeX:
+```console
+$ pdflatex mla.dtx
+$ gv mla.dtx
+```
+(If you're getting this package from [CTAN](https://ctan.org/pkg/mlacls),
+a file called `mla.pdf` should already be provided.)
+
+For an example file, refer to `mla-example.tex` and `mla-example.bib`,
+or to the appendix in the documentation.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Run `mla.ins` through LaTeX:
+```console
+$ latex mla.ins
+```
+Once finished, move the output `mla.cls` to your local
+[`texmf` directory](https://texfaq.org/FAQ-privinst).

+\begin{document}
+
+\begin{paper}
+
+This is an example document using ``mla.cls''.
+The header is automatically printed upon using the ``paper'' class,
+which is why there is no ``\textbackslash{}maketitle''.
+
+\section{Professors who prefer sections}
+
+Sometimes, research papers can become unmanageably lengthy.
+In that case, section headings can help divide up the ideas
+to make it more accessible to the reader.
+Though this paper is short, section headings are employed
+as an example of the ``mla'' class' capabilities.
+
+Some professors may explicitly require or denounce use of headings.
+Dr. Suzie Que of Anytown, PA requires they be used for anything
+longer than five pages:
+\begin{blockquote}
+John---so help me God---if you turn in another twenty-page research
+paper with no logical breaks I will hang you at the stake.
+Even though the MLA style guide doesn't say anything about
+section headings, they're not actually prohibited.
+So, if you turn in \emph{anything} longer than five pages to me
+and there isn't a \emph{single} break or section heading,
+I will dock your grade to an F.
+Capisce? \cite{que2019}
+\end{blockquote}
+Despite her language, she does have a point to say.
+
+\subsection{Subsections}
+
+Alongside regular top-level sections, one can use
+``\textbackslash{}subsection'' commands too\endnote{Section commands
+in ``mla.cls'' work identical to those of the ``article'' class.}.
+
+\section{Lists}
+
+Vertical lists are a rarity in MLA format, but if one so pleases,
+they can be used.
+The ``itemize'', ``enumerate'' and ``description'' lists
+work just as expected, even with sublists.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item A bogus item
+\item Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. This item has a bunch of text
+ just so it covers more than one line in the paper and shows
+ proper indentation.
+\item Last item!
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Just kidding; there's a subitem. And it's a number!
+\end{enumerate}
+\item Okay, now it's the last item.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Figures}
+
+On rare occasions, you might have to use figures or tables
+in your paper.
+Good news is the ``figure'' and ``table'' environments
+work exactly as expected!
+Just make sure to use ``\textbackslash{}begin\{figure\}[H]''
+if you want the image to stay exactly where you put it.
+\begin{figure}[H]
+\includegraphics[width=0.5\linewidth]{mla-example-image}
+\caption{A scene from atop Spruce Knob, West Virginia}
+\end{figure}
+And yes, I shamelessly used my own image.
+
+\section{Using endnotes}
+
+As one may notice, the above subsection used an endnote.
+These can simply be cited with
+``Yada yada text\textbackslash{}endnote\{more info\ldots\}.''
+Endnotes can be easily printed in correct format by calling
+``\textbackslash{}printendnotes'' within the
+``notes'' environment.
+
+\section{Using bibliographies}
+

+% \begin{abstract}
+% In the \acl{US}, secondary and undergraduate students
+% are generally expected to adhere to the format prescribed by
+% the \ac{MLA} for typewritten essays, research papers and writings.
+% Sadly, the tool of choice is usually Microsoft Word,
+% even amongst those fluent with \TeX .
+%
+% Though there \emph{are} some templates and tools to aid in
+% writing in the \ac{MLA} format using \LaTeX ,
+% none fully met the expectations of the author.
+% So \foreign{voil\`a}, there now exists an \Dfile{mla.cls} proper:
+% a simple, straightforward class for composing papers
+% almost perfectly adherent to the
+% \ac{MLA} style guide\footfullcite{mlahb}.

+% \section{Initial code}
+% \label{sec:initial_code}
+%
+% The \Dcls{mla} class uses the \Dcls{article} class as its base.
+% Thanks to this, macros such as \cs{textit} or \cs{textsuperscript}
+% work as expected and won't have to be re-defined.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\LoadClass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\mladate}
+% The \citetitle{mlahb} requires use of the \term{day month year}
+% date format, not \TeX 's standard \term{month day, year}.
+% The macro \cs{mladate} will format \cs{today} accordingly
+% to be used as the default value for \cs{date}
+% (see section~\ref{sec:the_header}).

+% \section{Options}
+% \label{sec:options}
+%
+% Some teachers and professors might still require using
+% the seventh edition of the \citetitle{mlahb},
+% while others will likely use the eighth edition.
+% Which edition to implement can be explicitly specified
+% with the \Dopt{mla7} and \Dopt{mla8} class options.
+% The only difference this makes within the \Dcls{mla} class itself
+% is the citation format used by \Dpkg{biblatex}.
+%
+% \changes{v0.3}{2019/05/06}{Improved options parsing to avoid
+% contradiction and undefined behavior}
+% \changes{v0.5}{2019/05/21}{Changed options parser to use
+% toggle-switch commands in the style of default \LaTeX\ classes}
+% \changes{v0.7}{2019/05/30}{Changed options parser to use
+% \cs{ifMLA@\ldots} toggle format seen in other classes}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\DeclareOption{mla7}{\MLA@seventrue\MLA@eightfalse\MLA@eightaltfalse}
+\DeclareOption{mla8}{\MLA@sevenfalse\MLA@eighttrue\MLA@eightaltfalse}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \changes{v0.3}{2019/05/07}{Added \Dopt{mla8alt} option}
+% Some versions of \Dpkg{biblatex-mla} might not recognize
+% the \Dopt{style=mla-new} option for the eighth edition.
+% In this case, one can specify \Dopt{mla8alt}
+% to the \Dcls{mla} class.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\DeclareOption{mla8alt}{\MLA@sevenfalse\MLA@eightfalse\MLA@eightalttrue}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% The \Dpkg{microtype} package can be optionally included
+% with the \Dopt{microtype} option to offset the pain of using
+% the Times typeface.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\DeclareOption{microtype}{\MLA@microtypetrue}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \subsection{Processing}
+% \label{sec:processing}
+%
+% A friendly warning will be provided when an unknown option
+% is provided.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\DeclareOption*{%
+ \ClassWarning{mla}{Unknown option `\CurrentOption'; ignoring}
+}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% By default, the eighth edition of the \citetitle{mlahb} is used.
+% To future-proof your documents for upcoming editions, however,
+% it may be wise to explicitly specify \Dopt{mla8}.

+% \section{Loading packages}
+% \label{sec:loading_packages}
+%
+% The \Dcls{mla} class requires the following packages\footnote{All
+% of the required packages are available for download
+% on the \ac{CTAN} if unavailable on your system:
+% \url{https://www.ctan.org/}.}:
+%
+% \changes{v0.3}{2019/05/07}{Replaced obsolete \Dpkg{times} package
+% with \Dpkg{newtxtext}}
+% \changes{v0.4}{2019/05/11}{Added \Dpkg{microtype} package}
+% \changes{v0.4}{2019/05/12}{Added \Dpkg{enumitem} package}
+% \changes{v0.6}{2019/05/29}{Added \Dpkg{caption} package}
+% \changes{v0.6}{2019/05/29}{Added \Dpkg{graphicx} package}
+% \changes{v0.6}{2019/05/29}{Added \Dpkg{float} package}
+% \changes{v0.7}{2019/06/01}{Changed \Dpkg{microtype} package
+% to only load through \Dopt{microtype} class option}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\RequirePackage{caption}
+\RequirePackage{enotez}
+\RequirePackage{enumitem}
+\RequirePackage{fancyhdr}
+\RequirePackage{float}
+\RequirePackage{fullpage}
+\RequirePackage{graphicx}
+\RequirePackage{ragged2e}
+\RequirePackage{newtxtext}
+\RequirePackage{titlesec}
+\RequirePackage{xstring}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% The following consists of prerequisites for \Dpkg{biblatex-mla}:
+%
+% \changes{v0.2}{2019/05/02}{Hid hyperlink boxes in \acs{PDF} output}
+% \changes{v0.2}{2019/05/02}{Added support for \acs{PDF} metadata}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\RequirePackage[american]{babel}
+\RequirePackage{csquotes}
+\RequirePackage{hanging}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% And finally, \Dpkg{biblatex}.
+% The \Dcls{mla} class options dictate what options are passed to
+% \Dpkg{biblatex}, hence the \term{if-then} clauses.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\ifMLA@seven
+ \RequirePackage[style=mla,noremoteinfo=false,showmedium=true,
+ backend=biber]{biblatex}
+\fi
+\ifMLA@eight
+ \RequirePackage[style=mla-new,noremoteinfo=false,
+ showmedium=false,backend=biber]{biblatex}
+\fi
+\ifMLA@eightalt
+ \RequirePackage[style=mla,noremoteinfo=false,
+ showmedium=false,backend=biber]{biblatex}
+\fi
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% The \Dpkg{microtype} package is loaded if the \Dopt{microtype}
+% option is specified.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\ifMLA@microtype
+ \RequirePackage{microtype}
+\fi
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% For some reason, common practice is to load \Dpkg{hyperref} last
+% of all packages.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\RequirePackage{hyperref}
+\hypersetup{hidelinks,pdfusetitle}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \section{Document layout}
+% \label{sec:document_layout}
+%
+% \subsection{Font}
+% \label{sec:font}
+%
+% The \Dpkg{newtxtext} package was already loaded in
+% section~\ref{sec:loading_packages},
+% and the font was set to 12pt when loading the \Dcls{article} class
+% in section~\ref{sec:initial_code}.
+% This should be metric-compatible with the infamous Times New Roman,
+% the \foreign{de facto} standard of the
+% \ac{MLA} format\footnote{According to the popular, oft-referenced
+% \ac{OWL}: \citeurl{owlmla}.}.
+%
+% \subsubsection{Microtype}
+% \label{sec:microtype}
+%
+% The \Dpkg{microtype} package (if loaded as in
+% section~\ref{sec:loading_packages})
+% will marginally offset the burden of using Times
+% by correcting its ugly kerning and tracking.
+% The vague \Dopt{activate=false} below simply disables
+% protrusion, maintaining original line and page breaks.
+%
+% \changes{v0.4}{2019/05/12}{Disabled \Dpkg{microtype} protrusion}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\ifMLA@microtype
+ \microtypesetup{activate=false}
+\fi
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \subsection{Line breaking and spacing}
+% \label{sec:line_breaking}
+%
+% The \citetitle{mlahb} prescribes exact double-spacing,
+% the definition of which varies between typesetters.
+% With these parameters exact, \LaTeX\ produces 23 lines of text
+% whereas the \soCalled{industry standard}
+% Microsoft Word\footnote{Microsoft Word 97 through 2016,
+% and likely following versions as well.} produces 24.
+% To compensate, line spacing is set to \emph{just enough}:
+%
+% \changes{v0.4}{2019/05/08}{Changed \cs{linespacing} to
+% print 24 lines per page}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\linespread{1.905}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% Though not explicitly denounced in the \citetitle{mlahb},
+% most \ac{MLA}-style papers don't hyphenate or adjust spacing
+% for pretty typesetting.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\hyphenpenalty=10000
+\pretolerance=10000
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \subsection{Paragraphing}
+% \label{sec:paragraphing}
+%
+% The \citetitle{mlahb} specifies half-inch first-line indentation
+% for every paragraph and no extra spacing in between.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\MLA@indent}
+% \changes{v0.7}{2019/06/05}{Added macro}
+% In case the indent should be changed, several other macros relying
+% on it might be broken.
+% Using an internal like \cs{MLA@indent} prevents this.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newlength{\MLA@indent}
+\setlength{\MLA@indent}{0.5in}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \changes{v0.6}{2019-05-29}{Explicitly set \cs{partopset} to 0pt}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\setlength{\parindent}{\MLA@indent}
+\setlength{\RaggedRightParindent}{\MLA@indent}
+\setlength{\parskip}{0em}
+\setlength{\topsep}{0em}
+\setlength{\partopsep}{0em}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \TeX\ does not indent the first paragraph after headings by default.
+% Thankfully, the fix for this is simple.
+%
+% \changes{v0.7}{2019/05/31}{Copied code from \Dpkg{indentfirst}
+% to reduce dependency count}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\let\@afterindentfalse\@afterindenttrue
+\@afterindenttrue
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% And, for the sake of consistent 24-line papers,
+% orphans and widows are explicitly allowed.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\widowpenalty=0
+\clubpenalty=0
+\interlinepenalty=0
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% For a final heinous crime against typesetting,
+% the \citetitle{mlahb} advises flush-left/ragged-right alignment.
+% (This is acheived with the \Dpkg{ragged2e} package.)
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\RaggedRight
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \begin{environment}{noindent}
+% The \Denv{noindent} environment doesn't work as expected
+% in conjunction with \Dpkg{ragged2e}, hence the re-definition.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\renewenvironment{noindent}{%
+ \edef\tmpind{\parindent}
+ \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
+}{%
+ \setlength{\parindent}{\tmpind}
+ \undef{\tmpind}
+}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{environment}
+%
+% \subsection{Page layout}
+% \label{sec:page_layout}
+%
+% With few exceptions, the \ac{US} uses \soCalled{letter-size} paper.
+% The paper size was already set when loading the \Dcls{article} class
+% in section~\ref{sec:initial_code}.
+%
+% Furthermore, the \citetitle{mlahb} dictates uniform one-inch margins
+% on said paper.
+% This was already set by the \Dpkg{fullpage} package as loaded
+% in section~\ref{sec:loading_packages}.
+% The \cs{textheight} and \cs{textwidth} definitions are here
+% just for good measure.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\setlength{\textheight}{9in}
+\setlength{\textwidth}{6.5in}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \subsection{Running head}
+% \label{sec:running_head}
+%
+% The running head in \ac{MLA} style is simply the author's surname
+% followed by the current page number, right-aligned.
+% This is managed using the \Dpkg{fancyhdr} and \Dpkg{xstring} packages.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\fancypagestyle{norule}{%
+ \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
+ \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
+}
+\fancyhf{}
+\pagestyle{headings}
+\pagestyle{norule}
+\fancyhead[RO]{{\StrBehind{\@author}{ }[\last]\last} \thepage}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% The following code is largely a hack to align the header
+% in the middle of the one-inch margin above the body text.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\setlength{\headheight}{18pt}
+\setlength{\headsep}{12pt}
+\setlength{\voffset}{-34pt}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \section{Document markup}
+% \label{sec:document_markup}
+%
+% \subsection{The header}
+% \label{sec:the_header}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\title}
+% \begin{macro}{\author}
+% \begin{macro}{\date}
+% The \cs{title}, \cs{author} and \cs{date} macros work as expected.
+% However, if your surname contains a space, you must contain the
+% surname in braces as such:
+% {\small |\author{Ludwig {van Beethoven}}|}.
+% This keeps the full surname in the running head (see
+% section~\ref{sec:running_head}).
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% The following header commands are unique to the \Dcls{mla} class.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\professor}
+% The instructor who assigned the paper, i.e.
+% \mentioned{Dr. Marjorie Stewart}.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand*{\professor}[1]{\gdef\@professor{#1}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\course}
+% The course for which this paper was assigned, i.e.
+% \mentioned{ENGL 101-02}.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand*{\course}[1]{\gdef\@course{#1}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% To prevent undefined behavior, the internal macros used
+% to store the above information are set empty, except for \cs{date}.
+% (Note the use of \cs{mladate}; see section~\ref{sec:initial_code}.)
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\title{}
+\author{}
+\professor{}
+\course{}
+\date{\mladate}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\makemlaheader}
+% This command finally prints out the standard four-line
+% \ac{MLA} header, as well as the title.
+%
+% \changes{v0.2}{2019/05/02}{Changed date format to
+% \term{day month year}}
+% \changes{v0.4.1}{2019/05/15}{Changed date format back to whatever
+% is inside \cs{@date}}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\makemlaheader}{%
+ \begin{noindent}
+ \@author \\
+ \@professor \\
+ \@course \\
+ \@date \\
+ \begin{center}\@title\end{center}
+ \end{noindent}
+}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% For simplicity's sake, \cs{maketitle} is directly aliased
+% to \cs{makemlaheader}.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\renewcommand{\maketitle}{\makemlaheader}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% Finally, the header will print at the beginning of every document.
+%

+%
+% \subsection{Sectioning}
+% \label{sec:sectioning}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\section}
+% \changes{v0.2}{2019/05/02}{Changed heading to small-caps}
+% \begin{macro}{\subsection}

+% \begin{macro}{\subsubsection}
+% \changes{v0.2}{2019/04/27}{Properly formatted}
+% \changes{v0.2}{2019/05/02}{Changed heading to small-caps}
+% Section headings are neither defined nor discouraged
+% in the \citetitle{mlahb}, though commonly used in longer papers.
+% Customary section headings are rather straightforward,
+% consisting of the section number in Arabic numerals, a space,
+% and the section name with no special decoration\footnote{According to
+% the popular, oft-referenced \ac{OWL}: \citeurl{owlmla}.}.
+%
+% However, for the sake of clarity, the section headings in this class
+% will be set in small-caps.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\renewcommand{\thesection}{\@arabic\c@section}
+\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\thesection.\@arabic\c@subsection}
+\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\thesubsection.\@arabic\c@subsubsection}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% Un-fancifying the headings is acheived using
+% the \Dpkg{titlesec} package.

+% To the user, \Dlst{itemize} and \Dlst{enumerate} lists
+% will function exactly as expected.
+% However, the formatting of the lists must be modified as to
+% preserve double-spacing and adhere to
+% common practice\footnote{According to the \ac{MLA} itself:
+% \url{https://style.mla.org/vertical-lists-in-mla-style/}.};
+% these changes are acheived using the \Dpkg{enumitem} package.

+%
+% \subsection{Block quotation}
+% \label{sec:block_quoatation}
+%
+% \begin{environment}{blockquote}
+% The \citetitle{mlahb} dictates blockquotes be set flush a half-inch
+% from the left margin with no extra space on the right.
+% The existing \Denv{blockquote} environment is re-defined
+% for this purpose.
+%
+% \changes{v0.2}{2019/04/28}{Countered unexplained vertical space

+%
+% \subsection{Figures and tables}
+% \label{sec:figures}
+%
+% The \citetitle{mlahb} doesn't specify much of anything about
+% the actual formatting of figures or tables or their captions,
+% so the following is mostly based on the package author's
+% personal preference and observations.
+%
+% \begin{environment}{figure}
+% \changes{v0.6}{2019/05/29}{Properly formatted}
+% \begin{environment}{table}
+% \changes{v0.6}{2019/05/29}{Properly formatted}
+%
+% Centered figures with margins the equivalent of one line of text
+% seems customary and logical.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\setlength{\floatsep}{\baselineskip}
+\setlength{\intextsep}{\baselineskip}
+\setlength{\textfloatsep}{\baselineskip}

+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% Thanks to a bug inherited from the \Dpkg{here} package
+% which has remained unfixed since 1987\footnote{See the \cs{par}
+% on p. 11, line 249 of \Dfile{ltfloat.dtx} from the \LaTeX\ kernel.},
+% there is not only extra space after the figure but the inability to
+% insert a figure within a paragraph.
+% Miraculously, there is a fix for this\footnote{See David Carlisle's
+% answer on \TeX\ \acs{SE}:
+% \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/310793}}.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\renewcommand{\float@endH}{%
+ \vspace{-12pt}
+ \@endfloatbox\vskip\intextsep
+ \if@flstyle\setbox\@currbox\float@makebox\columnwidth\fi

+% \end{environment}
+%
+% \begin{environment}{caption}
+% \changes{v0.6}{2019/05/29}{Properly formatted}
+%
+% Un-fancifying the caption is acheived using the
+% \Dpkg{caption} package.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\captionsetup{%
+ font={normalfont},
+ labelformat=simple,
+ labelsep=period,
+ position=bottom,
+ aboveskip=6pt,
+ belowskip=-10pt

+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% In the author's personal experience, most \ac{MLA}-style papers
+% use \mentioned{Fig.} and not \mentioned{Figure}.

+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{environment}
+%
+% To correctly format endnotes per common practice\footnote{According
+% to the popular, oft-referenced \ac{OWL}: \citeurl{owlendnotes}.},
+% a custom \Dlst{mlanotes} list type will be created.
+% This is acheived with the \Dpkg{enumitem} package.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newlist{mlanotes}{description}{1}
+\setlist[mlanotes]{%
+ parsep=0pt,
+ itemsep=0pt,
+ topsep=0pt,
+ leftmargin=\MLA@indent
+}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% The following initializes the \Dpkg{enotez} package to use
+% the \Dlst{mlanotes} list format.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\DeclareInstance{enotez-list}{mla}{list}{%
+ heading = {},
+ format = \normalsize\normalfont,
+ list-type = mlanotes
+}
+\setenotez{list-name={},list-style=mla,backref}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \subsubsection{Bibliography}
+% \label{sec:bibliography}
+%
+% \begin{environment}{workscited}
+% The bibliography can be typeset manually or with the supported
+% \Dpkg{biblatex} package\footnote{Refer to the \Dpkg{biblatex}
+% documentation for instructions.}.
+%
+% \changes{v0.2}{2019/04/28}{Countered unexplained vertical space
+% after heading}
+% \changes{v0.5}{2019/05/18}{Moved \cs{newpage} to beginning of environment}
+% \changes{v0.7}{2019/06/05}{Changed length to use \cs{MLA@indent}}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newenvironment{workscited}{%
+ \newpage
+ \begin{noindent}
+ \pdfbookmark[0]{Works Cited}{workscited}
+ \begin{center}Works Cited\end{center}
+ \end{noindent}
+ \vspace{-16pt} % XXX to counter unexplained space
+}{}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{environment}
+%
+% The \citetitle{mlahb} prescribes a half-inch hanging indent
+% on all bibliography entries.
+% This is achieved by setting the \cs{bibhang} length
+% defined by the \Dpkg{biblatex} package.
+%
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\setlength{\bibhang}{\MLA@indent}
+% \end{macrocode}
