biblatex-mla 0.6.1
For a long time, it seemed the worlds of Latex, Bibtex, and MLA-style citations and references were incompatible. Thankfully, Biblatex offers as much for users in the humanities as it does for those in sciences. Biblatex ships with starter style files with the expectation that users will build upon these to suit the whims of different publishing houses. Using these files as my starting point, I've defined MLA-format citation styles (defaults to inline, but also with support for footnotes) and reference (Works Cited) styles for Latex. They're available below.
- Download and install Biblatex version 0.8c

Please be aware of the following known issues:
- Definitions list not complete (letters, prefaces, etc.) — definition list improved in 0.2; added support for newspaper articles in 0.4; added @videos, @reviews, @inreference, and @booklet support in 0.5; added @unpublished, @inproceedings, @proceedings, @periodical in 0.6
Localization efforts are currently stymied by my in-built support for (American-style) punctuation inside quotation marks.As of version 0.6, biblatex-mla supports Biblatex's native support (with csquotes and babel) of localized quotation marks and nested punctuation.- Footnotes work, but they're still not quite up to standard yet (minimal support for unusual entry types, fields, series, volumes, etc.).
