+% \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, 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]{latex}
+%Lamport, Leslie.
+%\newblock {\em \LaTeX: A Document Preparation System}.
+%\newblock 2nd.~ed.
+%\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}).
+%
+% For information on automatically generating the list of works cited with
+% \BibTeX, see section~\ref{sec:bibtex}.
+%
+% \subsubsection{Parenthetical Documentation} \label{sec:parenthetical}
+% A simple citation can by achieved with a call to
+% \DescribeMacro{\cite}|\cite|\oarg{pages}\marg{marker}, where
+% marker refers to the key given to either
+% \index{BibTeX=\BibTeX|usage}\BibTeX{} or the |\bibitem| macro (|latex|
+% in the above example).
+% Omit \oarg{pages} if the source has no page numbers.
+% Multiple sources can be cited using the syntax
+% |\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.
+%
+% 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
+% 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})|
+% would be something like \examp[.]{(Knuth 42; Lamport 69)}
+%
+% \subsubsection{Using {\rm \BibTeX}} \label{sec:bibtex}
+% Coupled with \index{BibTeX=\BibTeX|usage}\BibTeX,
+% \package{mlastyle} provides a experimental implementation of MLA
+% documentation style. Put\SpecialUsageIndex{\bibliographystyle}
+% |\bibliographystyle{mlastyle}| in the document preamble to load the
+% bibliography style. Alternatively, the
+% \OptionIndex{bibstyle}\Lopt{bibstyle} option can handle this
+% automatically, loading a bibliography style of |mlastyle| in \Lopt{mla}
+% and \Lopt{style} modes and a bibliography style of |plain| in
+% \Lopt{format} and \Lopt{compat} modes.
+%
+% Use of \BibTeX{} is also beyond the scope of this document; instead,
+% another example is provided. To use it, substitute
+% |\bibliography|\marg{filename} for the |thebibliography| environment.
+% Then create \meta{filename}\file{.bib} with the contents below.
+% Generating the document entails running \file{latex} on the \file{.tex}
+% file, \file{bibtex} on the resulting \file{.aux} file, then \file{latex}
+% twice more.
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%@BOOK{latex,
+% AUTHOR = "Leslie Lamport",
+% TITLE = "\LaTeX: A Document Preparation System",
+% KEY = "\LaTeX",
+% EDITION = "Second",
+% ADDRESS = "Reading",
+% PUBLISHER = "Addison-Wesley",
+% YEAR = "1994"}\end{verbatim}
+% In \package{mlastyle}, The |KEY| field serves the additional purpose of
+% specifying an abbreviated title. This is unnecessary in the above
+% example. If an additional book by Leslie Lamport was included, however,
+% the |KEY| field would allow |\cite{lamport}| to yield \examp{(Lamport,
+% \emph{\LaTeX\/})} instead of \examp[.]{(Lamport, \emph{\LaTeX: A Document
+% Preparation System\/})}
