LaTeX/Academic Journals
< LaTeX
When writing an academic paper, it usually follows a specific style guide such as the Modern Language Association's MLA style or the American Psychological Association's APA style.
MLA style[edit | edit source]
For the MLA style, there is the mla package along with the mla class.
mla package[edit | edit source]
Documents formatted in the MLA style can be made using the mla package.
The following is an example MLA document (with blindtext):
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\usepackage{mla}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\begin{mla}{Jane}{Doe}{Smith}{ENG 118}{2022-07-05}{My Paper}
\blindtext
\end{mla}
\end{document}
