This repository gathers the tools needed for producing MLA-formatted PDFs (or ODTs, or DOCXs) from text files written in Markdown. Prerequisites In order to automatically generate the nicely-formatted PDFs I've promised you, you will need - Pandoc, - LaTeX, and - Make (GNU or otherwise---should be present by default).
