+% \subsection{Modes of Operation}
+% The \package{mlastyle} package has four basic modes of operations,
+% selected with one of four mutually exclusive options. The
+% \OptionIndex{format}\Lopt{format}
+% option tells \package{mlastyle} to use MLA format (i.e., 1 inch margins,
+% double-spaced, etc.). The \OptionIndex{style}\Lopt{style} option tells
+% \package{mlastyle} to use MLA style (i.e., the format of parenthetical
+% documentation, etc). Each of these options
+% disables the other; to use both MLA format and MLA style, specify the
+% \OptionIndex{mla}\Lopt{mla} option, or nothing at all.
+%
+% To disable both MLA style and MLA format, use the
+% \OptionIndex{compat}\Lopt{compat} option. This differs from omitting
+% the package entirely in that certain macros are still defined (e.g.,
+% |\instructor|). Also, citations are handled a bit differently than in
+% standard \LaTeX{} (see section~\ref{sec:documentation}).
+%
+% In addition to the above, several other options modify the behavior of
+% \package{mlastyle}.
+%
+% \subsubsection{Italics vs.\ Underlining} \index{underlining|usage}
+% \index{italics|usage}\label{sec:italics}
+% The {\em MLA Handbook\/}\citeC{handbook} dictates that emphasis should
+% be indicated by underlining the text\citeM[94]{handbook}. Thus, the
+% \package{ulem} package, which underlines all emphasized
+% text, is loaded by default in \Lopt{mla} and \Lopt{format} modes. To
+% disable this, use the \OptionIndex{italics}\Lopt{italics} option.
+% Conversely, if underlining is desired in \Lopt{style} or \Lopt{compat}
+% mode, the \OptionIndex{underline}\Lopt{underline} option can be used.
+%
+% \subsubsection{Fonts}
+% By default, \package{mlastyle} uses \TeX's standard Computer Modern
+% font. Some profess\-ors\penalty500---particularly those
+% concerned with document length---require assignments to be set in
+% \examp[.]{Times New Roman} This can be achieved with the
+% \OptionIndex{times}\Lopt{times} option, which simply loads the
+% \package{times} package. This opposite of this option is
+% \OptionIndex{cm}\Lopt{cm}, which reverts to Computer Modern.
+%
+% \index{works cited|usage}
+% \subsection{Documenting Sources} \label{sec:documentation}
+%
+% The \package{mlastyle} package reimplements the
+% \DescribeEnv{thebibliography}|thebibliography| environment to generate
+% the list of works cited in MLA style. Instruction in the basic use of
+% \LaTeX's bibliography features is beyond the scope of this document;
+% however, the following example, which should be included just before
+% |\end{document}|, might prove to be a useful starting point:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\begin{thebibliography}{}
+%
+%\bibitem[Lamport]{latexdps}
+%Lamport, Leslie.
+%\newblock \emph{\LaTeX: A Document Preparation System}.
+%\newblock 2nd.~ed.
+%\newblock Reading: Addison-Wesley, 1994.
