		+	== Options ==
		+
		+
		+
		+	== Installation ==
		+
		+	You can install it from the WordPress admin, or via [[FTP]]. You can view both versions on the plugin's [https://wordpress.org/plugins/make-it-so/installation/ installation page] on wordpress.org.
		+
		+	== Screenshots ==
		+
		+	Screenshots are available on the plugin page on [https://wordpress.org/plugins/d12-mla-citations/screenshots/ wordpress.org].
		+
		+	== FAQ ==
		+
		+	=== Will this plugin handle multiple authors? ===
		+
		+	Yes, just enter it as you want it to appear: Updike, John, and Henry David Thoreau
		+
		+	=== Do I need to add quotation marks around article titles? ===
		+
		+	No, the plugin will handle it for you.
		+
		+	=== Do I need to italicize book titles, journal titles, or magazine titles? ===
		+
		+	No, the plugin will automatically italicize the titles of books, magazines, and academic journals.
		+
		+	=== What's the difference between adding "Additional information" at the end of a citation and adding a note to a citation? ===
		+
		+	The "Additional information" will be appended to the end of the citation paragraph. A note gets added below it, in a separate paragraph. See the screenshots for an example.
		+
		+	=== What's the difference between "end punctuation" and "internal punctuation"? ===
		+
		+	"End punctuation" is what comes at the end of each part of the citation. For example, a period after the author(s), another period after the title, etc.
		+
		+	"Internal punctuation" refers to punctuation within each part of the citation, for example, the comma in the author's name: "Lastname, Firstname".
		+
		+	=== The highlighting and clear floats plugins do not show up in the drop-down menu. ===
		+
		+	No, but they will be added in a future update. They can still be accessed by adding the appropriate shortcode manually.
		+
		+	=== I made a mistake in one of my citations. Do I need to delete it and start over again? ===
		+
		+	No. All your data is entered into your post as a shortcode, so you can edit your data in the shortcode.
		+
		+	== Customizing ==
		+
		+	It is possible to customize the plugin's appearance using a child theme. (I'm not sure if WordPress 4.7's new custom css feature will affect the admin pages. I need to investigate this.)
		+	(Add instructions here.)
		+
		+	== Suggestions and Problems==
		+
		+	If you have a problem, or want to suggest a feature, please do so on the plugin's [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/d12-mla-citations dedicated support forum] over on wordpress.org.
