What is the easiest way to write essays at MLA colleges in LaTeX?

I have been using LaTeX for a while to type in homework by algorithms, and I really like the quality of the output as well as the ease of use. I would like to start using LaTeX in other classes as well, but non-computer science subjects have more stringent formatting requirements than I have seen in CS. Most classes that require an essay want them to be formatted in MLA style, but I'm not sure if the best way to do this is with LaTeX. I tried “latex mla” on Google and other similar things, but I found many different MLA templates and my LaTeX skills are not good enough to determine which one is better. Does anyone else use LaTeX for "normal" essays, and if so, how do you do it?

This is definitely one of the problems with latex at the moment - it's hard to create accurate document styles from scratch.

Perhaps your school has templates somewhere - my uni, of course, had them.

I would have thought that the CTAN MLA package would probably be of high quality: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mla-paper/

(CTAN is a TeX network, and it is useful for finding more packets)

google "bibtex mla", bibtex . google http://www.reed.edu/cis/help/latex/bibtexstyles.html, MLA, ( : P, , )

EDIT . This site looks amazing: enter the ISBN number, and then you can export directly to bibtex format. I wish I also had this in college, since manual formatting of refs always took me a lot of time, and it was annoying, like all hell. http://www.ottobib.com/
