I wish that I had know about latex back in high school when I was writing my MLA styled papers. For example the following template could be used to make a MLA paper for the user really simply.
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article} \usepackage{ifpdf} \usepackage{mla} \begin{document} \begin{mla}{Your First Name}{Your Last Name}{Professor's last name}{Class name}{Date}{Title} Body \begin{workscited} \bibent author's last name, first name. ``Paper Title." \textit{Book Title}. Date of publication. \end{workscited} \end{mla} \end{document}
