+% ^^A MLA style, consisting of a set of documentation conventions, has
+% ^^A gained widespread acceptance in the humanities.
+% According to the {\em MLA Handbook for Writers of Research
+% Papers}\citeC{handbook}, MLA style is a set of ``commonly agreed-on
+% rules for documenting quotations, facts, opinions and paraphrases'' that
+% ``is preferred by a substantial majority of scholarly journals in
+% language and literature{\makeatletter\ifmlastyle@style
+% .''\citeM[xvi]{handbook}\else.''\fi} \LaTeX{} is a
+% document preparation system enjoying popularity in the scientific field.
% It should come as no surprise that complete, up-to-date implementations
% of MLA style for \LaTeX{} are in short supply. The \LaTeX{} package
% \package{mlastyle} aims to fill this void.

% However, other formats can be used as long as done so consistently

% Three environments have been modified from standard \LaTeX to better

-% drama\index{drama|usage}, use the |verse| environment.
-% Quotations\index{quotations|usage} of a single paragraph or less always
-% use the |quote| environment. For longer passages, use the |quotation|
-% environment if the beginning of the passage marks the beginning of a

+% environment. Quotations\index{quotations|usage} of a single paragraph

+% Otherwise, use the |quote| environment.
%

% \OptionIndex{format}\Lopt{format}
% option tells \package{mlastyle} to use MLA format (i.e., 1 inch margins,

% disables the other; to use both MLA format and MLA style, specify the
% \OptionIndex{mla}\Lopt{mla} option, or nothing at all.
%
% \package{mlastyle}.
%
% \subsubsection{Italics vs.\ Underlining} \index{underlining|usage}
-% \index{italics|usage}
-% MLA format dictates that emphasis should be indicated by underlining the
-% text. Thus, the \package{ulem} package 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.
+% \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 professors\penalty\exhyphenpenalty---particularly those
-% concerned with document length---mandate that assignments be set in
-% \examp[.]{Times} This can be achieved with the
+% 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 option can be cancelled with
-% the \OptionIndex{cm}\Lopt{cm} option, which reverts to Computer Modern.
+% \package{times} package. This opposite of this option is
+% \OptionIndex{cm}\Lopt{cm}, which reverts to Computer Modern.

% \subsection{Documenting Sources} \label{sec:documentation}
%
-% The \package{mlastyle} package reimpliments the
+% The \package{mlastyle} package reimplements the
% \DescribeEnv{thebibliography}|thebibliography| environment to generate
-% the list of works cited in MLA style. 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:
+% 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}{}
%
%\newblock Reading: Addison-Wesley, 1994.
%
%\end{thebibliography}\end{verbatim}
-%
% In this example, |Lamport| is the author's last name (for use in
% citations) and |latex| is the marker used to reference it (see
% section~\ref{sec:parenthetical}).
% |\cite|\oarg{pages}|{|\meta{marker
% 1}\texttt{,}\penalty\exhyphenpenalty\meta{marker 2}\ldots|}|; however, page
% numbers can currently be specified only for the last referenced source.
-% To work around this limitation |\citeN|, explained below, can be used.
+% To work around this limitation, use |\citeN|, explained below.
%
% Three additional citation commands are provided, all of which take the
% same arguments as |\cite|. To omit the author information from the
% citation, use \DescribeMacro{\citepage}|\citepage|. Indirect
-% citations---those of the format \examp{(qtd. in Brown 6)}---can be
+% citations---those of the format \examp{(qtd. in Pope
+% \pageref{sec:italics})}---can be
% created with \DescribeMacro{\citeindirect}|\citeindirect|. Finally, the
% parentheses are omitted by \DescribeMacro{\citeN}|\citeN|. This was
% intended for use in cross references, but it can also help in citing
% multiple works. The result of
-% |(\citeN[42]{knuth}|\texttt{; }|\citeN[69]{lamport})|
+% |(\citeN[42]{texbook}|\texttt{; }|\citeN[69]{latex})|
% would be something like \examp[.]{(Knuth 42; Lamport 69)}

+%
% In \package{mlastyle}, The |KEY| field serves the additional purpose of

% example. If an additional book by Leslie Lamport was included, however,
-% the |KEY| field would allow |\cite{lamport}| to yield \examp{(Lamport,
