\section{About these style files}
\label{int}
\Biblatexmla provides support to \biblatex, \bibtex, and \latex for citations and Works Cited lists in the style of the Modern Language Association (\mla). For commands and options to change package defaults, see \secref{mla:subsec:commands} and \secref{mla:subsec:options}, respectively, below.
\mla style, a common standard for writers in the humanities, is outlined in the \emph{MLA Style Manual}, in its 3\superscript{rd} edition, and the \emph{MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers}, now in its 9\superscript{th} edition. \Biblatexmla follows the style outlined in the latter of these. It also follows the logic of the \mla{} when citing similar material repeatedly, trimming unnecessary information from citations where necessary. \Biblatexmla is compatible with \biblatex's support for \sty{hyperref} and \sty{tex4ht}, and the main word in each citation (either the author's name, the title, or the page number) serves as a link to the particular entry in the Works Cited. For anything not covered by this manual, please also see the \biblatex documentation or reach out via GitHub.
Version 2.1 improves documentation and compatibility with the 9\superscript{th} edition of the \emph{MLA Handbook}, published April 2021. Changes for this release and the previous release of \biblatexmla are called out in the right-hand margin with \colorbox{orange}{\textcolor{white}{|2.1|}} and \colorbox{lightorange}{\textcolor{white}{|2.0|}}, with color fading to show age. See the |CHANGES| file for more details of releases.
\subsection{License}
\Biblatexmla is copyrighted \textcopyright\ 2007--2022, by James Clawson. Permission is granted to copy, distribute, and modify this software under the terms of the \lppl, version 1.3: \mylink{https://ctan.org/license/lppl1.3}.
\subsection[Feedback]{Feedback}
\label{int:feb}
If you end up improving the code to be more accurate to the \mla{} standard, please be kind to the rest of us and share; improvements are strongly encouraged. Direct any feedback to the package's GitHub page: \mylink{https://github.com/jmclawson/biblatex-mla/}.
\section{Setup and Use}
\label{mla:sec:use}
For American-style quotation marks,%
%%
\footnote{Other localization files, \sty{mla-spanish.lbx}, \sty{mla-portuguese.lbx}, and \sty{mla-italian.lbx}, are also available to use \biblatexmla in languages other than English. These and other localization files are included in \biblatexmla releases, but they have fallen out of sync with the English versions. The latest version of these files will be kept on GitHub (\mylink{\biblatexmlahome}); new translations are welcome. There is also support for proper punctuation in non-American dialects of English. Try \mycode{british}, \mycode{canadian}, or other Babel identifiers, such as \mycode{spanish}.} %
%%
call the \sty{babel} and \sty{csquotes} packages in the preamble
of your \latex document:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=mla]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
By default, \biblatexmla will transform some data in ways preferred by \mla style: for example, URLs will omit protocol prefixes like |http://|, some URLs will be converted to eprint entries, and publisher names will be simplified to abbreviate ``University Press'' to ``UP.'' To avoid these automatic transformations, change the style referenced in the third line to \textbf{|mla-strict|}:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=mla-strict]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
To use the older style called for by the 7\superscript{th} edition of the \emph{MLA Handbook}, change this line to \textbf{|mla7|}:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=mla7]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
Replace <||> with the name of your .bib bibliography file. The style (provisionally) supports footnote citations with the \mycode{autocite=footnote} package option. Some of the other options supported by \biblatexmla include \mycode{firstlonghand}, \mycode{noremoteinfo}, \mycode{showlocation}, and others discussed in \secref{mla:subsec:options}.
\subsection{Commands}
\label{mla:subsec:commands}
The standard commands for \biblatexmla generally follow those defined by \biblatex. Included below are the most typical commands. For more commands and options, reference the \biblatex manual.
\subsubsection{Typical Commands}
\label{mla:subsubsec:typical}
\begin{commandlist}
\commanditem{printbibliography}
Insert the list of Works Cited; typically used at the end of a document. As may be expected, this command will print a bibliography including full, alphabetized, MLA-style entries for every source cited using one of the below citation commands.
\commanditem{autocite}
Insert a citation. This is the most common command for citing in \biblatexmla, and it defaults to printing a parenthetical citation. See \tabref{use:cit:all} for examples. For best results, use the command before punctuation like this:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\autocite{x}.
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
In the following example, |x| represents the bibkey of the particular bibliographic entry being cited. Insert page numbers and citational prenotes using square braces:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\autocite[z][y]{x}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
Here, |y| is the page number, and |z| is the prenote (such as ). If indicating a prenote but no page number, you must include an empty set for the page number:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\autocite[z][]{x}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
When citing a page number without any prenote, only one set of square brackets is needed:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\autocite[y]{x}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
To omit the name of the author (or editor) responsible for the source when they've already been named in the sentence, use the starred version (\cmd{autocite*[z][y]\{x\}}) of this command.
\commanditem{autocites}
Insert a citation for multiple sources at once. The respective citations will be printed separated by semicolons.
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\autocites[z1][y1]{x1}[z2][y2]{x1}[z3][y3]{x3}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
The curled braces always indicate the bibkey, and the squared braces respectively belong to the curly braces that follow them.
\commanditem{parencite}
Insert a citation inside parentheses. Indicate page numbers and any prenote like ``qtd.\ in'' in the spaces marked |y| and |z| below, respectively:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\parencite[z][y]{x}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
All of these citation commands follow the pattern described above for |\autocite{}|, which is the preferred citation command to use. To omit the source author or editor, use the starred version of this command: \cmd{parencite*[z][y]\{x\}}
\commanditem{footcite}
Insert a citation in a footnote. The |\footcite| command should be reserved for occasional use in favor of the general use of |\autocite| with the package option |autocite=footnote|, mentioned above. To omit the name of the author or editor, use the starred version of this command: \cmd{footcite*[z][y]\{x\}}
\end{commandlist}
\subsubsection{In-Text Commands}
\label{mla:subsubsec:intext}
\begin{commandlist}
\commanditem{cite}
Insert a citation without parentheses or footnote styling. These kinds of citations aren't often used in writing for \mla{}-related fields, but the command may be useful within a parenthetical aside or a footnote. To omit the name of the author or editor, use the starred version of this command: \cmd{cite*[z][y]\{x\}}
\commanditem{citeauthor}
Print the names of the author(s) or editor(s) associated with a source. In its current form, the unstarred command will always print given and family names, while it is possible to omit given names by using the starred variant: \cmd{citeauthor*\{x\}}
\commanditem{citetitle}
Print the title of a source. The unstarred version will print the |shorttitle| if it is available; the starred version (\cmd{citetitle*\{x\}}) will always print the full title field.
\commanditem{citeyear}
Print the year associated with a source.
% (these commands aren't yet working.)
%
% \commanditem{fullcite}
%
% Print a full citation where a shortened citation might otherwise come.
%
% \commanditem{headlessfullcite}
%
% Except for the author's name, print a nearly-full citation where a shortened citation might otherwise come.
\end{commandlist}
\subsubsection{Special Commands}
\label{mla:subsubsec:special}
\begin{commandlist}
\commanditem{mancite}
Reset most trackers that would shorten subsequent citations. See \tabref{use:cit:all} for an example. If \biblatexmla{}'s ambition to shorten citations leads to ambiguity, using this command before a citation should print the longer version.
\commanditem{citereset}
Reset all citation trackers for \biblatexmla.%
\commanditem{headlesscite}
Suppress the author's name in a citation. This command provides an alias to \cmd{autocite*} to make it easier for anyone using \biblatexmla and \biblatexcms interchangeably.
\commanditem{textcite}
An alias to |\cite|, above.
\end{commandlist}
\subsection{Package Options}
\label{mla:subsec:options}
\Biblatexmla defaults to the recommendations established by the \mla{}, but there may be times when it is appropriate to change some of these options for publication or other uses. Package options change the default functionality of \biblatexmla.
\begin{optionslist}
% \optionitem{autocite=footnote}
%
% Using \mycommand{autocite} with biblatex-mla defaults to \mla{}-preferred inline, parenthetical citations. To style citations as footnotes, set the \mycode{autocite=footnote} option in your preamble:
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \usepackage[style=mla,autocite=footnote]{biblatex}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
\optionitem{annotation}
It is possible to print annotations to entries in the Works Cited if the \mlafield{annotation} field is defined in an entry. To turn on this option, add \mycode{annotation=true} to your
preamble:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla,annotation=true]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{optionslist}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{optionslist}
\optionitem{firstlonghand}\label{mla:internal:firstlonghand}
The first citation of a source with a shorthand defined will always print a citation with author's name and, potentially, the \mlafield{shorttitle} field. (For more on this field, see section \secref{mla:subsec:unnusualfields}, below.) Add \mycode{firstlonghand=false} to your preamble to disable this option and print only the shorthand even on the first citation:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla,firstlonghand=false]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
% \noindent\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
% \end{minipage}
\optionitem{guessmedium}
When using the |style=mla7| option, an entry with no defined \mlafield{howpublished} field will default either to a publication (if there's a defined \mlafield{url} field or \mlafield{eprint} field) or a publication (if there's not). To avoid \biblatexmla guessing the publication medium, thereby printing nothing when the field is undefined, deactivate the \mycode{guessmedium} option:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla7,guessmedium=false]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\optionitem{longdash}\label{mla:internal:longdash}
\newthis The 9\superscript{th} edition of the \emph{\mla Handbook} clarifies that dashes indicating multiple entries by one author can either be styled wih three em-dashes or three hyphens. From version 2.0, output defaults to em-dashes, but setting |longdash| to false reverts back to hyphens:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla,longdash=false]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\optionitem{mancitepar}
Although perhaps they should, the author trackers in \biblatexmla do not by default reset with each paragraph or page. As a result, shortened citations may be unclear when much distance has passed from previous, fuller citations. To avoid this ambiguity, the \cmd{mancite} command can be called before an unclear citation. (See \tabref{use:cit:all} for the effects of \cmd{mancite}.) Alternatively, consider asking \biblatexmla to silently call the \cmd{mancite} command with each new paragraph by enabling the \mycode{mancitepar} package option:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla,mancitepar=true]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\optionitem{mladraft}
When using \mla{} parenthetical citations, it is best practice to cite only when necessary to avoid ambiguity. \Biblatexmla can flag consecutive citations to the same page range, allowing you to defer citations to the end. In draft mode, \biblatexmla will place a clover ($\clubsuit$) in the margin, along with a single footnote explanation. To use the tool outside of draft mode, set the \mycode{mladraft} option in your preamble to true; similarly, to avoid seeing these clovers and the footnote in draft mode, set the option to false:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla,mladraft=true]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\optionitem{nofullfootnote}\label{mla:internal:nofullfootnote}
When using \biblatexmla for footnotes, the style file will provide full bibliographic detail for the first citation of every source. To turn off this option, add \mycode{nofullfootnote} among the package options:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla,autocite=footnote,nofullfootnote]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\optionitem{noremoteinfo}\label{mla:internal:noremoteinfo}
Modeled after the implementation in |biblatex-apa| to suppress remote information in the \sty{.bib} file from being printed in the bibliography, this option affects \sty{isbn}, \sty{issn}, \sty{isrn}, \sty{doi}, and \mlafield{eprint} fields.
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla,noremoteinfo=true]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\optionitem{showlocation}\label{mla:internal:showlocation}
\newthis The 8\superscript{th} and 9\superscript{th} editions of the \emph{\mla Handbook} advise witholding publication location for most entries, so \biblatexmla omits showing the |location| field for many entry types. To show these location fields for all sources when they exist, use the |showlocation| option in the document header:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla,showlocation=true]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
Alternatively, selectively show the location for individual entries by defining the |options| field in the |.bib| file:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
@book{dewey99aa,
...
options = {showlocation=true}
}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\optionitem{showmedium}
When using the |style=mla7| option, \biblatexmla will print the publication medium at the end of each entry in the list of Works Cited. Turn off this option---and some other changes from the 3\superscript{rd} edition---by setting the \mycode{showmedium} option to false:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=mla7,showmedium=false]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\end{optionslist}
\section{\bibtex Entry Types and Fields}
\label{bib}
\biblatex uses \bibtex-style databases to define the bibliographic information of sources. With few notable distinctions, \biblatexmla tries to follow typical \biblatex conventions for \textcolor{orange}{entry types} and \textcolor{teal}{fields}, explained in this section. Keep in mind that some of the \textcolor{teal}{fields} listed in the \mlatype{@book} and \mlatype{@article} types (for example, \mlafield{nameaddon}, \mlafield{origyear}, and others) are also available in other entry types and are not repeated only for brevity.
Following the explanations in this section, section \secref{mla:sec:samples} offers specific examples modeled after the 9th edition of the \emph{MLA Handbook}.

\subsection{Notable Fields}\label{mla:subsec:unnusualfields}
\biblatex supports the following fields, sometimes concerned more with presentation than bibliographic merit, in all entrytypes. Define these in your \mycode{.bib} files:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{crossref}}
the \sty{key} of a parent source in which a shorter source is found. The \mlafield{crossref} field is handy to avoid spending time re-inputting similar data, but it is also useful for including \mla{}-style cross-references in the list of Works Cited. Keep in mind the problems of the \mlafield{crossref} field, explained in section 2.4.1 of the \biblatex manual.% In the future, \biblatexmla may provide further support for the \biblatex \sty{xref} field, making \mlafield{crossref} secondary in importance.
\optionitem{\mlafield{shorttitle}}
the shortened title to be printed in citations to disambiguate among multiple titles by one author. \Biblatexmla will only print this field in citations when necessary; when this field is not defined, \biblatexmla will use the whole of the \mlafield{title} field.
\optionitem{\mlafield{shorthand}}
when defined, a unique label to be printed in citations instead of the author and shorttitle. By default, \biblatexmla will only use the \mlafield{shorthand} label after a first citation with author (and title, if necessary). See the \mycode{firstlonghand} option on page~\pageref{mla:internal:firstlonghand} to disable this feature.
\optionitem{\mlafield{options}}
separate the following options with a comma:
\begin{description}
\item[|containerized=auto|] \newnov allows \biblatexmla to determine whether a multivolume set should be displayed as a container. The \mycode{containerized} option defaults to \mycode{auto}. To force behavior, set the option to \mycode{true} or \mycode{false}. See \bibref{Howells:1968wo}, which has \mycode{containerized} set to \mycode{true}.
\item[|datebrackets=true|] \newnov styles the date of a source in square brackets to indicate that the date was not indicated on the original source. To see the option in use, check \bibref{Bauer:1971ui}. This option currently only works with the \mlatype{@book} entry type, but it seems reasonable to expand the option to other entry types in future releases. The \mycode{datebrackets} option defaults to \mycode{false}.
\item[|showlocation=true|] \newthis indicates that the publisher's city of operations for an entry is to be printed. These fields are usually omitted. See also the global option also called \mycode{showlocation}, on page~\pageref{mla:internal:showlocation}, above, for defining this option on a per-document basis. The \mycode{showlocation} option defaults to false.
\item[|uniquenamea=false|] \newnov indicates that the \mlafield{namea} field is related to a broader container, rather than to the particular source being cited within that container. This is useful, e.g., to indicate someone who directed an entire television series, rather than just a particular episode. The \mycode{uniquenamea} option defaults to \mycode{true}, indicating association with the particular source.
\item[|uniquenameb=false|] as above, for the \mlafield{nameb} field. This option defaults to \mycode{true}.
\item[|uniquenamec=false|] as above, for the \mlafield{namec} field. This option defaults to \mycode{true}.
\item[|noremoteinfo=false|] indicates that the ``remote'' information of an entry is to be printed, including the fields \mlafield{isbn}, \mlafield{issn}, \mlafield{isrn}, \mlafield{doi}, and \mlafield{eprint}. These fields may otherwise be omitted. See also the global option which shares the name \mycode{noremoteinfo}, on page~\pageref{mla:internal:noremoteinfo}, above, for defining this option on a per-document basis. The \mycode{noremoteinfo} option defaults to true.
\item[|totalnames=true|] allows the label to include all the names in its list, rather than maxing out at three. The \mycode{totalnames} option defaults to false.
\item[|uniquetranslator=true|] indicates that a translator of a particular entry with the \mlatype{@incollection} entrytype is unique to that work, rather than the collection at large. The \mycode{uniquetranslator} option defaults to false.
\item[|useauthor=false|] allows the label of the entry to default to something other than the author, when the author field is defined. If the editor is defined, the label will default to that. The \mycode{useauthor} option defaults to true.
\item[|useeditor=false|] allows the label of the entry default to something other than the editor in the case of the author field being undefined or the \mycode{useauthor} option set to false. The \mycode{useeditor} option defaults to true.
\item[|usetranslator=true|] allows the label of the entry to inherit the name of the translator when the author and editor fields are undefined or the \mycode{useauthor} and \mycode{useeditor} options are set to false. The \mycode{usetranslator} option defaults to false.
\end{description}
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsection{Standalone Sources}
The following entrytypes are for long sources not part of any other publication except, potentially, multivolume sets or publishers' series.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@book}}
A book, usually with one author. \mla{}-style book entries are straightforward, and \biblatex will style all the potential fields for a typical book. \longerref{book}{Davis:1998we}
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}}
the author of the book
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}}
book title; when using \mlafield{crossref}, also define \mlafield{booktitle} and be sure to define \mlafield{title} of the child entry
\optionitem{\mlafield{subtitle}}
book subtitle; when using \mlafield{crossref}, also define \mlafield{booksubtitle} and be sure to define \mlafield{subtitle} of the child
\optionitem{\mlafield{location}}
place of publication; ignored unless |showlocation| is |true|
\optionitem{\mlafield{publisher}}
publishing house. When using \mycode{style=mla}, a number of corrections will be made automatically:
\begin{itemize}
\item the phrases ``and Company'' and ``and Co.'' will be dropped
\item ``University Press'' will be converted to ``UP'', ``University'' will become ``U'', and ``Press'' will become ``P''; see \bibref{Charon:2017tw}
\item the strings ``Corporation'', ``Corp.'', ``Incorporated'', ``Inc.'', ``Limited'', and ``Ltd.'' will all be stripped
\end{itemize}
These MLA-style substitions can be skipped document-wide by changing the style setting to \mycode{style=mla-strict} in the package options. Alternatively, curly brackets can be used on a per-entry basis to interrupt the string matching, as shown in \bibref{Milkis:1994vv}.
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}}
date of publication; defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year, \sty{YYYY-MM} for a month, \sty{YYYY-MM-DD} for a day, or \sty{YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD} for a range. For any date fields, use a tilde to indicate uncertainty: \sty{1618$\sim$} will print as ``circa 1618'' in the list of Works Cited, as shown for the \mlafield{origdate} detail in \bibref{Velazquez:2016ud}.
\end{optionslistNOT}
Other fields might come in handy for further granularity:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{origdate}}
original publication date, for reprints; defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year, \sty{YYYY-MM} for a month, \sty{YYYY-MM-DD} for a day, or \sty{YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD} for a range
\optionitem{\mlafield{edition}}
edition number, preferably an integer. When using \mycode{style=mla}, the word ``edition'' will be automatically abbreviated to ``ed.'', unless curly brackets are used to interrupt string matching.
\optionitem{\mlafield{volume}}
volume number of book
\optionitem{\mlafield{volumes}}
total number of volumes
\optionitem{\mlafield{maintitle}}
title of multi-volume collection of which this book is one volume
\optionitem{\mlafield{mainsubtitle}}
subtitle of the above \mlafield{maintitle}
\optionitem{\mlafield{series}}
name of a publication series
\optionitem{\mlafield{number}}
number of the above \mlafield{series} represented by this book
\end{optionslistNOT}
Additionally, the style files support more name types for situations needing them:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{editor}}
editor of a book
\optionitem{\mlafield{editortype}}
optional, used to indicate that a named \mlafield{editor} is actually another of the many kinds of contributors defined in section 2.3.6 of the \biblatex documentation
\optionitem{\mlafield{translator}}
translator of a work
\optionitem{\mlafield{introduction}}
author of a book's introduction
\optionitem{\mlafield{foreword}}
author of a book's foreword
\optionitem{\mlafield{afterword}}
author of a book's afterword
\optionitem{\mlafield{redactor}}
name of redactor
\optionitem{\mlafield{commentator}}
name of commentator
\optionitem{\mlafield{annotator}}
name of annotator
\end{optionslistNOT}
Finally, the style files also define the following note fields for further clarification:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{nameaddon}}
pseudonym, misattribution, or other note (printed in brackets after \mlafield{author})
\optionitem{\mlafield{booktitleaddon}}
note after the \mlafield{booktitle}
\optionitem{\mlafield{maintitleaddon}}
note after the \mlafield{maintitle}
\optionitem{\mlafield{note}}
miscellaneous data printed before \mlafield{publisher}
\optionitem{\mlafield{addendum}}
miscellaneous data printed at the end of the entry
\end{optionslistNOT}
% Fields not yet supported in biblatex-mla (but which should be supported in future versions) include the following:
%
% \begin{optionslistNOT}
% \optionitem{howpublished}
% to be used in support of the MLA-style revisions in the third edition of the \emph{MLA Style Manual} and the 7th edition of the \emph{MLA Handbook}; will default to ``Print'' when undefined
%
% \optionitem{origlocation}
% original place of publication (for reprints)
%
% \optionitem{origpublisher}
% original publisher (for reprints)
%
% \optionitem{origtitle}
% original title (for reprints)
%
% \optionitem{origlanguage}
% the original language of a translated, reprinted work. Biblatex-mla will not print information in this field, but if the field has information in it, it will use the phrase ``Trans. of'' before the original title, instead of ``Rept. of''.
%
% \end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@booklet}}
Small pamphlet, often without an author listed. In \biblatexmla, \mlatype{@booklet} is an alias for \mlatype{@book} (see above), and is styled similarly. \titleref{booklet}{Language:vu}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@collection}}
A book that is a collection of self-contained essays, stories, or poems, usually with multiple unique authors and collectively edited by a single editorial body. In \biblatexmla, the entry type \mlatype{@collection} is an an alias for \mlatype{@book} (see above), and is styled similarly. To accurately support \mlatype{@incollection} entries using \mlafield{crossref}, be sure to define the following fields instead of \mlafield{title} and \mlafield{subtitle} in the parent \mlatype{@collection} entry:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{booktitle}}
the title of a book or collection
\optionitem{\mlafield{booksubtitle}}
the subtitle of a book or collection
\end{optionslistNOT}
Additionally, remember to define the \mlafield{editor} field if needed.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@periodical}}
An entire issue of a journal, usually cited by editor. The \mlatype{@periodical} type is especially good for citing a titled issue of a numbered comic book, as in \bibref{Clowes:1998wp}. \Biblatexmla accepts the following fields:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{editor}}
the editor or editors of an issue
\optionitem{\mlafield{issuetitle}}
title of a special issue
\optionitem{\mlafield{issuesubtitle}}

\optionitem{\mlafield{date}}
date of publication, defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year, \sty{YYYY-MM} for a month, \sty{YYYY-MM-DD} for a day, or \sty{YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD} for a range.
\optionitem{\mlafield{pages}}
complete pagination of the issue
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@proceedings}}
The published proceedings of a conference. \Biblatexmla styles \mlatype{@proceedings} entries like \mlatype{@book} or \mlatype{@collection} entries, but \newnov the \mlafield{title} field is not italicized. To italicize the title of published proceedings, define the \mlafield{booktitle} field. \authorref{proceedings}{Chang:2000uv} The \mlatype{@proceedings} entry type also provides support for the following unique fields:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{eventtitle}}
title of the conference represented by the proceedings (if not included in the \mlafield{title} of the published proceedings)
\optionitem{\mlafield{organization}}
body sponsoring the conference
\optionitem{\mlafield{urldate}}
original date of the conference; defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year, \sty{YYYY-MM} for a month, \sty{YYYY-MM-DD} for a day, or \sty{YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD} for a range. Please note that this is an unusual and temporary use of the \mlafield{urldate} field; in a future version of \biblatexmla, it will change to \mlafield{eventdate}.
\optionitem{\mlafield{institution}}
university or institution hosting the conference. When using \mycode{style=mla}, the word ``University'' will be automatically abbreviated to ``U'' unless curly brackets are used to interrupt string matching.
\optionitem{\mlafield{venue}}
location of the conference
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@reference}}
A reference book such as a dictionary or encyclopedia, often supporting \mlatype{@inreference} entries through \mlafield{crossref} fields. \Biblatexmla styles a \mlatype{@reference} entry as it would a \mlatype{@book} entry.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@thesis}}
The thesis or dissertation resulting from a doctorate or a master's degree, whether published or unpublished. \parentref{thesis}{Njus:2010vc} The \mlatype{@thesis} entry type supports the following fields typical for defining such an entry:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}}
the author of the thesis/dissertation
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}}
title
\optionitem{\mlafield{subtitle}}
subtitle
\optionitem{\mlafield{type}}
degree type. \Biblatexmla defines some MLA-style \mlatype{@thesis} types pre-localized; choose from the following strings to get accurate styling:
\begin{description}
\item[|phd|] for doctorate; prints as ``PhD dissertation'' in English
\item[|dphil|] for doctorate; prints as ``DPhil dissertation'' in English
\item[|lic|] for licentiate; prints as ``Licentiate thesis''
\item[|ma|] for master's; prints as ``MA thesis''
\item[|ms|] for master's; prints as ``MS thesis''
\item[|msc|] for master's; prints as ``MSc thesis''
\item[|mphil|] for master's; prints as ``MPhil thesis''
\item[|mlitt|] for master's; prints as ``MLitt thesis''
\end{description}
For all other types not matching the above codes, \biblatexmla will print the \mlafield{type} field as entered, respecting capitalization.
\optionitem{\mlafield{institution}}
name of degree-granting university. When using \mycode{style=mla}, the word ``University'' will be automatically abbreviated to ``U'' unless curly brackets are used to interrupt string matching. See \bibref{Njus:2010aa}.
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}}
date degree awarded, defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year, \sty{YYYY-MM} for a month, \sty{YYYY-MM-DD}
\end{optionslistNOT}
A published \mlatype{@thesis} has some additional fields:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{entrysubtype}}
When documenting a \mlatype{@thesis} using the 7\superscript{th} edition style, which differentiates between published and unpublished dissertation titles, \biblatexmla recognizes two keys in the \mlafield{entrysubtype} field:
\begin{description}
\item[|published|] for published theses
\item[|unpublished|] for unpublished theses
\end{description}
Any other key will be treated as \sty{unpublished}.
\optionitem{\mlafield{location}}
place of publication
\optionitem{\mlafield{publisher}}
publisher
\optionitem{\mlafield{origdate}}
date degree was awarded, defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year, \sty{YYYY-MM} for a month, and adding \sty{YYYY-MM-DD} for the day; please note this difference from an unpublished thesis
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}}
date of publication, defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year; please note this difference from an unpublished thesis
\optionitem{\mlafield{series}}
name of a publication series
\optionitem{\mlafield{number}}
number of the above \sty{series} represented by this book
\end{optionslistNOT}
%%%%%%
\subsection{Sources within other works}
The following entrytypes are for shorter works (essays, poems, and other things) that are part of another publication. Many have corresponding standalone sources representing the larger work of which they are a part (i.e., \mlatype{@incollection} and \mlatype{@collection}). Entries of shorter works can inherit fields of parent entries by using the \mlafield{crossref} field.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@article}}
Articles appearing in periodicals in many media, including academic journals, newspapers, and online sources. \longerref{article}{Boggs:2016tp} \Biblatexmla supports the following fields typical of an article in an academic journal:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}} author of the article
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of the article
\optionitem{\mlafield{subtitle}} subtitle of the article
\optionitem{\mlafield{journaltitle}} title of journal
\optionitem{\mlafield{journalsubtitle}} subtitle of journal
\optionitem{\mlafield{volume}} journal volume number
\optionitem{\mlafield{number}} journal issue number
\optionitem{\mlafield{issue}} season, when used in place of month (as in the ``spring'' issue of a journal)
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}} date, defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year, \sty{YYYY-MM} for a month, \sty{YYYY-MM-DD} for a day, or \sty{YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD} for a range
\optionitem{\mlafield{pages}} page numbers of the article
\end{optionslistNOT}
For online and newspaper articles, the style provides additional support for the following fields:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{entrysubtype}} defines an article's medium, allowing finer control over styling. \Biblatexmla responds to the following keys in the \mlafield{entrysubtype} field:
\begin{description}
\item[|magazine|] used for magazine articles. See \bibref{Deresiewicz:un}.
\item[|newspaper|] used for newspaper articles. See \bibref{Evacuation:wj}.
\item[|comment|] \newnov used for reader's comment posted to an article online. See \bibref{Max:the:Pen:ve}.
\end{description}
online articles are further styled by the presence or absence of a \mlafield{url} field
\optionitem{\mlafield{eprint}} the electronic identifier of a source held by some specific database, repository, or archive service defined by \mlafield{eprinttype}.
\optionitem{\mlafield{eprinttype}} the specific database, repository, or archive service that holds an item. See the definition of \mlafield{eprinttype}| = {jstor}| in \bibref{Fisher:vu}. \Biblatexmla tries to be forgiving in the use of fields such as \mlafield{eprint} and \mlafield{eprinttype}, when one might easily be omitted. If \mlafield{eprinttype} is undefined, \mlafield{eprint} is treated as the name of the database, repository, or archive service. When using \mycode{style=mla}, an empty \mlafield{eprint} field may automatically be filled from a value found in the \mlafield{url} field. (See further explanation below).
\optionitem{\mlafield{url}} the url address of an online article. When using \mycode{style=mla}, the \mlafield{url} field will be cleaned up, dropping the protocols |http://| and |https://| for everything but DOIs. Additionally, this field will be parsed to fill empty \mlafield{eprint} and \mlafield{doi} information for URLs containing a limited set of strings:
\begin{itemize}
\item |jstor.org| --- \mlafield{eprint} is set to ``JSTOR''; see \bibref{Goldman:2010wd}.
\item |muse.jhu.edu|--- \mlafield{eprint} is set to ``Project Muse''
\item |books.google| --- \mlafield{eprint} is set to ``Google Books''
\item |db=a9h| --- \mlafield{eprint} is set to ``Academic Search Complete''
\item |db=fdcaae48| --- \mlafield{eprint} is set to ``LexisNexis Academic''
\item |db=mzh| --- \mlafield{eprint} is set to ``MLA International Bibliography''
\item |patft.uspto.gov| --- \mlafield{eprint} is set to ``USPTO Patent Full-Text and Image Database''
\item |dx.doi.org| --- \mlafield{doi} is set to the identifier defined in the URL
\end{itemize}
\optionitem{\mlafield{urldate}} date an online article was accessed, defined as \sty{YYYY-MM-DD}
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}} date a newspaper article is published, defined as \sty{YYYY-MM-DD} for a day
\optionitem{\mlafield{location}} for newspapers lacking a place-name in their title, the city of publication
\optionitem{\mlafield{version}} the printing edition of a newspaper (ie, early edition, national edition, etc.)
\optionitem{\mlafield{chapter}} the section of a newspaper article if it uses numbers instead of letters; if the newspaper uses letters, combine the letter with the page number (ie, page ``B12'') in the \mlafield{page} field
\end{optionslistNOT}
In addition, the style provides support for the following fields, used in edge cases and unusual circumstances:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{nameaddon}} pseudonym, misattribution, or other note (printed in brackets after author)
\optionitem{\mlafield{titleaddon}} note after the title
\optionitem{\mlafield{origdate}} year of original publication for a reprinted article
\optionitem{\mlafield{issuetitle}} title of the special issue in which it appeared
\optionitem{\mlafield{issuesubtitle}} subtitle of the special issue
\optionitem{\mlafield{editor}} editor of the special issue
\optionitem{\mlafield{translator}} translator of the article
\optionitem{\mlafield{redactor}} name of redactor
\optionitem{\mlafield{commentator}} name of commentator
\optionitem{\mlafield{annotator}} name of annotator
\optionitem{\mlafield{introduction}} author of introduction to special issue
\optionitem{\mlafield{foreword}} author of foreword to special issue
\optionitem{\mlafield{afterword}} author of afterword to special issue
\optionitem{\mlafield{series}} name of journal series; define the series name manually, or choose one of the predefined strings \sty{\textbf{newseries}} or \sty{\textbf{oldseries}} to let \biblatexmla style the series name correctly
\optionitem{\mlafield{note}} miscellaneous data to print before the page numbers
\optionitem{\mlafield{addendum}} further miscellaneous note at the end of an entry
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@bookinbook}}
A particular kind of \mlatype{@incollection}. (See below.)
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@incollection}}
A self-contained unit in a \mlatype{@collection}. Supports the following fields typical of an essay, short story, or poem found in an anthology:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}} the author of the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{subtitle}} subtitle of the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{entrysubtype}} defines a work's medium, allowing finer control over styling. By default, entries labeled \mlatype{@incollection} are printed inside quotation marks, like essays, poems, stories, and other shorter works. \Biblatexmla responds to \mycode{book} and \mycode{play} in the \mlafield{entrysubtype} field, each of which will cause the title to be printed italicized rather than inside quotation marks. Compare \bibref{Euripides:1998tx} to \bibref{Marvell:1979tp}, along with their respective outputs. Setting the entry to a \mlatype{@bookinbook} type will also yield an italicized title.
\optionitem{\mlafield{origdate}} original publication date of the work, defined as \sty{YYYY}, \sty{YYYY-MM}, or \sty{YYYY-MM-DD}
\optionitem{\mlafield{booktitle}} title of the anthology
\optionitem{\mlafield{booksubtitle}} subtitle of the anthology
\optionitem{\mlafield{editor}} anthology's editor
\optionitem{\mlafield{location}} anthology's city of publication
\optionitem{\mlafield{publisher}} anthology's publisher
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}} date anthology is published, defined as \sty{YYYY}
\optionitem{\mlafield{pages}} page numbers of the work
\end{optionslistNOT}
Further fields supported include all of those supported by the \mlatype{@book} type.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@inproceedings}}
A work published in the proceedings of a conference. Supports all the \textcolor{teal}{fields} found above in \mlatype{@incollection} and \mlatype{@proceedings} types. \longerref{inproceedings}{Werner:vh}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@inreference}}
A particular type of \mlatype{@incollection}, potentially without an author, used for dictionaries and other reference books. See \bibref{Patanjali:1996wu}. In addition to those fields defined by \mlatype{@incollection}, \mlatype{@inreference} adds or refines the following:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} name of entry in reference book
\optionitem{\mlafield{titleaddon}} particular definition of the word
\optionitem{\mlafield{booktitle}} the title of the reference book
\end{optionslistNOT}
Note that \mlatype{@inreference} entries should specify the edition used. If the \mlafield{year} and \mlafield{edition} fields match, \biblatexmla styles the entry accordingly.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@letter}}
The \mlatype{@letter} entry type is defined similarly to the \mlatype{@article} type, so it will accept additional fields used in those entries. For an example \bibtex{} entry and output related to a letter that has been published, see \citeauthor{Schlesinger:wm}'s letter in \secref{Schlesinger:wm}. For an unpublished letter, see \citeauthor{Apfelbaum:un}'s entry in \secref{Apfelbaum:un}. The following fields are especially important:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}} main author of the letter
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} indication of sender and addressee
\optionitem{\mlafield{titleaddon}} additional information
\optionitem{\mlafield{pages}} pages
\optionitem{\mlafield{origdate}} original date letter was sent
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@review}}
A particular type of \mlatype{@article}, potentially without a title. See the entry for \citeauthor{Rohrbaugh:aa}'s review in \secref{Rohrbaugh:aa}. In addition to those fields defined by an \mlatype{@article} entry, \mlatype{@review} adds or refines the following:
\begin{optionslistNOT}

\subsection{Other media}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@artwork}}
A painting, sculpture, or some other work of art. For an example entry using the \mlatype{@artwork} entrytype, see the definition for \citeauthor{Cave:wf}'s exhibition in \secref{Cave:wf}. %The \mlatype{@artwork} entry type is defined similarly to the \mlatype{@article} type, so it will accept some additional fields used in those entries.
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}} artist responsible for the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of the piece
% \optionitem{\mlafield{type}} description of the medium. (Please note that this field doesn't yet work with the current version of \biblatexmla, though support will be added to support bibliographies made for \biblatexcms.)
% \optionitem{\mlafield{note}} additional note on the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}} date of creation or exhibition, defined as \sty{YYYY} for a year, \sty{YYYY-MM} for a month, \sty{YYYY-MM-DD} for a day, or \sty{YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD} for a range
\optionitem{\mlafield{institution}} institution holding the artwork
\optionitem{\mlafield{location}} city of the institution
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@audio}}
Optimized for audio recordings, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. See \bibref{Li:ty}. %the \mlatype{@audio} entry type is defined similarly to the \mlatype{@article} type, so it will accept additional fields used in those entries.
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}} author, performer, or composer of a work
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of the speech, song, or other short piece.
\optionitem{\mlafield{booktitle}} title of the opera, cycle, or other larger collection
\optionitem{\mlafield{origdate}} date work was originally written.
\optionitem{\mlafield{maintitle}} title of a book or collection containing the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}} date of publication of work being referenced
\optionitem{\mlafield{publisher}} publisher of work being referenced.
\optionitem{\mlafield{location}} city of publisher.
\optionitem{\mlafield{addendum}} When listening to audio via an app, name the app in the \mlafield{addendum} field. The app's name ought to be italicized in MLA style, but this should not be a concern: when using \mycode{style=mla} and following the app's unstyled name with the word ``app,'' as with \emph{iTunes} in \bibref{YiyunLiReads:ub}, italics will automatically be applied.
\end{optionslistNOT}
Additionally, \biblatexmla supports the \mlafield{author}, \mlafield{editor}, \mlafield{namea}, \mlafield{nameb}, and \mlafield{namec} fields, modified with the \mlafield{authortype}, \mlafield{editortype}, \mlafield{nameatype}, \mlafield{namebtype}, and \mlafield{namectype} fields, attuned to the following localization keys:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{$<$x$>$type}}
\begin{description}
\item[|composer|] composer of a soundtrack
\item[|director|] director of a work
\item[|narrator|] narrator of a spoken track
\item[|performer|] list of crucial performers
\item[|producer|] producer of a work
\item[|screenplay|] author of the screenplay
\end{description}
Note that \biblatexmla will print the \mlafield{author} field before the \mlafield{title} (styled using the appropriate \mlafield{authortype} key) unless the field is empty or the \mycode{useauthor} option is false---at which point it will cascade to the \mlafield{editor} field, unless \emph{it} is undefined or the \mycode{useeditor} option is false. No other name fields will be printed before the title. Except for any printed before the title, these fields will be printed after the title in the following order: \mlafield{author}, \mlafield{editor}, \mlafield{namea}, \mlafield{nameb}, \mlafield{namec}.
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@dataset}}
\newnov Data, files, or similar material, useful for referencing raw supplementary data. \parentref{dataset}{Moskowitz:2021uw}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@image}}
Photographs and electronic images. See, for example, \citeauthor{Sheldon:tr}'s entry in \secref{Sheldon:tr}. The \mlatype{@image} entry type is defined similarly to the \mlatype{@article} type, so it will accept additional fields used in those entries.
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}} creator of the image
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{type}} description of the medium. (Please note that this field doesn't yet work with the current version of \biblatexmla, though support will be added to support bibliographies made for \biblatexcms.)
\optionitem{\mlafield{note}} additional description of the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}} date of creation
\optionitem{\mlafield{institution}} institution holding the work. (Please note that this field doesn't yet work with the current version of \biblatexmla, though support will be added.)

\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@manual}}
\newthis This entry type is an alias for \mlatype{@book}, but it may be well suited for particular uses.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@misc}}
\newthis Sources including interviews, personal communications, billboards, and classroom material are ideal for the \mlatype{@misc} entry type. For an example \mlatype{@misc} source, see \citeauthor{Salter:uc}'s interview in \secref{Salter:uc}. This entry type behaves like \mlatype{@article} entries, but titles are printed unstyled, without quotation marks.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@movie}}
\newnov A movie or some similar video that stands alone. \parentref{movie}{OpeningNight:tf} \Biblatexmla supports the following fields necessary for a movie:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of the movie
\optionitem{\mlafield{subtitle}} subtitle of the movie
\optionitem{\mlafield{namea}} person(s) associated with a movie in some role

\optionitem{\mlafield{publisher}} distributor
\optionitem{\mlafield{origdate}} original date of movie
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}} date of source
\optionitem{\mlafield{url}} the url address of an online source
\optionitem{\mlafield{addendum}} When viewing a movie via an app, name the app in the \mlafield{addendum} field. The app's name ought to be italicized in MLA style, but this should not be a concern: when using \mycode{style=mla} and following the app's unstyled name with the word ``app,'' as with \emph{Netflix} in \bibref{ET:1982:vj}, italics will automatically be added.
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@music}}
Similar to the \mlatype{@audio} entry type, ideal for songs and albums. For the former, see \bibref{Beyonce:ta}; for the latter, \bibref{Beatles:aa}.
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@online}}
Online resources such as webpages or entire websites. This entry type is an alias for \sty{\mlatype{@article}} with many of the same fields.
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{entrysubtype}} \newnov Setting \mlafield{entrysubtype} to \sty{website} toggles the title of the entry to be set in italics. \emph{The William Blake Archive} is a good example of a project that would be cited this way; see \bibref{BlakeArchive:uh}.
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@patent}}
\newthis Legal patent filed with a country's patent office. This entry type is currently built onto the same backend as \mlatype{@article} entries, so it accepts additional fields used in that entry type, with some variation. See \secref{kowalik:1995qw} for examples of these entries and output.
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}} inventor or creator of patented work
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of work
\optionitem{\mlafield{date}} date of patent
\optionitem{\mlafield{holder}} the holder of the patent, if different from the \mlafield{author} field
\optionitem{\mlafield{number}} patent number
\optionitem{\mlafield{type}} the type of patent, with relation to the country in which it was issued. For instance, \sty{patenteu} or \sty{patentus} will automatically establish some standard expectations for the Works Cited entry of a patent from the European Union or one from the United States.
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@performance}}
\newnov A play, dance performance, concert, or something similar. \longerref{performance}{Shaw:2006vz}

\optionitem{\mlafield{location}} city of performance
\optionitem{\mlafield{organization}} organization or group sponsoring or organizing the event
\optionitem{\mlafield{venue}} name of theater or performance space
\optionitem{\mlafield{entrysubtype}} set to \sty{untitled} to omit title decoration with italics and quotation marks in case of an untitled event, as in \bibref{Lynn:2016wu}.
\end{optionslistNOT}
Additionally, \biblatexmla supports the \mlafield{author}, \mlafield{editor}, \mlafield{namea}, \mlafield{nameb}, and \mlafield{namec} fields, modified with the \mlafield{authortype}, \mlafield{editortype}, \mlafield{nameatype}, \mlafield{namebtype}, and \mlafield{namectype} fields, attuned to localization keys such as the following:
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{$<$x$>$type}}
\begin{description}
\item[|composer|] composer of a soundtrack
\item[|director|] director of a work
\item[|performer|] significant performers of a work

\end{description}
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@report}}
\newthis Report issued by an agency or organization. This entry type is an alias for \mlatype{@book}. See \bibref{ReadingRisk:vu}.

\optionitem{\mlafield{eventdate}} date of access, if relevant
\end{optionslistNOT}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@unpublished}}

\optionitem{\mlafield{titleaddon}} description of untitled work
\optionitem{\mlafield{note}} further information used to classify the collection; typeset before the \mlafield{type} field
\optionitem{\mlafield{type}} form of the material. For example, some of the following strings are recognized:
\begin{description}
\item[\sty{manuscript}] printed as ``Manuscript'' or ``ms'' in English
\item[\sty{transcript}] printed as ``Typescript'' or ``ts'' in English
\end{description}
For all other types not matching the above codes, \biblatexmla will print the \mlafield{type} field exactly as entered, respecting all existing capitalization
\optionitem{\mlafield{entrysubtype}} \newthis special consideration for styling the title of the work or for indicating that a given title is just a description of the material consulted. The following strings are recognized:
\begin{description}
\item[\sty{untitled}] for untitled sources---e.g., a course lecture, as with \citeauthor{Ford:2016vm}'s entry in \secref{Ford:2016vm}.
\item[\sty{book}] for titles that should be styled like a book's title, in italics
\item[\sty{article}] for titles that should be styled like an article's title, in quotation marks
\end{description}
\Biblatexmla will further try to style the title to match any type listed in the \mlafield{entrysubtype} field.
\optionitem{\mlafield{number}} identifying number (such as a call number, box, or folio reference) in a library or archive
\optionitem{\mlafield{library}} library, archive, or other research institution holding the unpublished work

\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{subtitle}} subtitle of the work
\optionitem{\mlafield{maintitle}} title of the enclosing work of which this video is part

\optionitem{\mlafield{publisher}} distributor
\optionitem{\mlafield{origdate}} original date of release
\optionitem{\mlafield{url}} the url address of an online video
\optionitem{\mlafield{addendum}} When viewing a video via an app, name the app in the \mlafield{addendum} field. The app's name ought to be italicized in MLA style, but this should not be a concern: when using \mycode{style=mla} and following the app's unstyled name with the word ``app,'' as with \emph{Amazon Prime Video} in \bibref{NewNormal:2016:vi}, italics will automatically be applied.
\end{optionslistNOT}
Additionally, \biblatexmla supports the \mlafield{author}, \mlafield{editor}, \mlafield{namea}, \mlafield{nameb}, and \mlafield{namec} fields, modified with the \mlafield{authortype}, \mlafield{editortype}, \mlafield{nameatype}, \mlafield{namebtype}, and \mlafield{namectype} fields, attuned to the following localization keys:
\begin{optionslistNOT}

\item[\sty{screenplay}] author of the screenplay
\item[\sty{performer}] list of crucial performers
\item[\sty{composer}] composer of a soundtrack
\item[\sty{producer}] producer of a work
\end{description}
Note that \biblatexmla will print the \mlafield{author} field before the \mlafield{title} (styled using the appropriate \mlafield{authortype} key) unless the field is empty or the \mycode{useauthor} option is false---at which point it will cascade to the \mlafield{editor} field, unless \emph{it} is undefined or the \mycode{useeditor} option is false. No other name fields will be printed before the title. Except for any printed before the title, these fields will be printed after the title in the following order: \mlafield{author}, \mlafield{editor}, \mlafield{namea}, \mlafield{nameb}, \mlafield{namec}.
\end{optionslistNOT}

\subsection{MLA-Style Containers}
\subsubsection*{\mlatype{@mlasource}}
\newthis In addition to these typical \biblatex-supported entry types, \biblatexmla 2.0 introduces support for defining entries using the containerized explanations of sources first described in the 8\superscript{th} edition of the \emph{MLA Handbook}. Because the non-author fields are defined to handle information literally, this kind of entry is in many ways inferior to the above semantically-defined entry types, which should handle punctuation in lists of editor names, strings like ``vol.'' and ``by,'', subtitle punctuation, and other matters. The user will need to keep output in mind as they define the metadata in the \bibtex file. \longerref{mlasource}{Benton:wd} All of these fields are optional, and they should only include information set out in the \emph{MLA Handbook}.
\begin{optionslistNOT}
\optionitem{\mlafield{author}} the name of the person(s) who should be used as the label for a work.
\optionitem{\mlafield{title}} title of the piece; subtitles and any necessary colons should be included within the \mlafield{title} field.
\optionitem{\mlafield{titletype}} a string like \textbf{|complete|}, \textbf{|part|}, or \textbf{|unstyled|} determining how the source's \mlafield{title} gets printed. This field is typically unnecessary: \biblatexmla assumes |complete| if the source lacks a \mlafield{titlea} field, and it assumes |part| if the \mlafield{titlea} field is defined, styling the title in italics or in quotation marks, respectively. Setting this field overrides \biblatexmla{}'s logic.
\optionitem{\mlafield{supplemental}} any supplemental information for the source.
\optionitem{\mlafield{titlea}} the title of the first container; \biblatexmla will style \mlafield{titlea} in italics, but subtitles and any necessary colons should be included within the this field.
\optionitem{\mlafield{contributora}} any necessary contributors to the first container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{versiona}} the version or edition of the first container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{numbera}} the number of the first container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{publishera}} the publisher of the first container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{datea}} the date associated with the first container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{locationa}} the location of the first container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{supplementala}} any supplemental information for the first container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{titleb}} the title of the second container; \biblatexmla will style \mlafield{titleb} in italics, but subtitles and any necessary colons should be included within the this field.
\optionitem{\mlafield{contributorb}} any necessary contributors to the second container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{versionb}} the version or edition of the second container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{numberb}} the number of the second container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{publisherb}} the publisher of the second container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{dateb}} the date associated with the second container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{locationb}} the location of the second container.
\optionitem{\mlafield{supplementalb}} any supplemental information for the second container.

\noindent{}The examples below demonstrate one way to achieve the output of Appendix 2, ``Works-Cited-List Entries by Publication Format,'' found in the 9th edition of the \emph{MLA Handbook}, but there is room for flexibility. One example of such flexibility can be seen below in the ordering of names in the \mlafield{author} and \mlafield{editor} fields, which may reasonably be entered as \{\texttt{Last, First}\} or \{\texttt{First Last}\}.
