 ## Compilation
 
 To compile files, run `pdftex --shell-escape /dir/to/file` from this directory.
 
 ## MLA8 Formatting Usage
 
-Because files are called from this directory, the relative path is `mla8.tex`, which should be included in TeX documents with `\\input mla8.tex` (this method is used to allow `mla8.tex` to call `citations.tex`).
-
-In-document, mla8.tex provides a few facilities: fonts (`\\large` makes text 14pt, `\\it` italicizes text, `\\bf` bolds text; default 12pt roman Times New Roman), a running page-numbered header which can be enabled on the first page with `\\numberfirstpage`, blockquotes (`\\blockquote{Long quote}`), titles (`\\title{Title}``),and document headers (`\\name{Forename}\\last{Surname}\\teacher{Teacher}\\clas{Class}\\header`, with an optional `\\date{12 July 2019}` to use a different date than today; internal registers like `\\day` can also be set as numbers).
-
-`citations.tex` provides `\\cite`, which has internal sub-commands: `\name{Author Last name for inline citation}{Author Full Name (e.g. Zinsser, William) for citation at end}`, `\\title{Chapter/Paper Title}`, `\\contain{Book or Journal Title}` (note that `\\title` should not be used with full books for citation structure), `\\version` for book version if notable, `\\relnums` for journal issue or volume number, `\\publish` for the publisher, `\\pubdate` for the date of publication, `\\locator` for the page numbers (if chapter) or web address, and `\\pagenum` for inline citation. Internal options are `\\nameinline` which includes the name in the inline citation (or title if no author) and `\\newcitation` to prevent double citing in the final. Python scripts alphabetize the citations.
