This script turns a markdown file in the form:

%Here is a Title

Lorem ipsum doler stuff.

Into an MLA-style paper in PDF format that looks like this:

#Usage

First, edit mla-template.tex and enter your first name, last name, professor's name, and course name. Then run this command:

./md2mla my-paper.md

If all goes well, this should generate my-paper.md.pdf. If it doesn't, maybe you need pandoc or xelatex?

#Requirements This script requires pandoc and xelatex. On Ubuntu and Debian, you can probably just run: sudo apt-get install pandoc texlive-xetex.

#About This uses a modified version of the mla13.sty style. Check out the documentation there if you want to add a Works Cited page. Works Cited pages aren't really implemented here at the moment, but would be easy to add with pandoc-citeproc and a bibtex file for your cited works. Just make sure you have pandoc-citeproc installed (sudo apt-get install pandoc-citeproc), and add --filter pandoc-citeproc to the script.
