Library & Brief tutorial

MLA Helper now hosts a Google Script library where you can use our functions in your personal code!

Library ID:

1g-0LjSh1pEMcYM4aT9tBLyONhwIOd8iLlg901Va3yYjhAY9JagfNnY_B

How to install:

  1. Copy the provided id
  2. Open the GS file of your choice.
  3. Under "Library," press the plus button, paste, and add.

Using is simple, but following the instructions will make it easier.

Here is how to define a quote: [Remember to define with var before sending to doc]

functionnewQuote(){varquote=MLAHelper.createQuote("quote","author","pg#");varcitation=MLAHelper.createCitation("authorFirstName","authorMiddleName","authorLastName","authorSuffix","contribution","title","publisher","city","seriesName","seriesNumber","edition","year");Logger.log(quote);Logger.log(citation);}

The output should be similar to this:

Executionlog-:--:--AM/PMNoticeExecutionstarted-:--:--AM/PMInfo"quote"(authorpg#).-:--:--AM/PMInfoauthorLastName,authorMiddleNameauthorFirstName,authorSuffix,contribution.title.editioned.,city,publisher,year.seriesName,seriesNumber.-:--:--NoticeExecutioncompleted

You can also generate base foundations for an MLA essay:

functionsetNew(){MLAHelper.createHeader("name","teacherName","className","day","month","year","title");}

Footnotes

  1. MLA helper was made to save time. The easy to use GUI makes writing a whole lot easier when it comes to things such as quoting, citing, and a few others which makes the process a whole lot simpler.↩

  2. When creating MLA helper, I decided to make the most foolproof GUI possible so that anyone would be able to use it problem free. Because of this, it is very organised and gets the job done for those who are not tech handy.↩

  3. Installing the program is easy and can be done in no time. Please seeInstallation for firther details or clickhere for a pre-made template (ad link)↩
