Does anyone know MLA Format?

Well I have a question about it
Formatting a Paper in MLA Style (This page has been checked against the seventh edition of the MLA Handbook, published in the summer of 2009.) This is what the top of your first page should look like: First page research paper.gif (5654 bytes) Here's how to make it look this way: Spacing: The entire paper, including the heading, the title, indented quotations and the list of works cited, should be double-spaced. Paper: Be sure the printer is stocked with good-quality 8½ x 11 paper. Font and printing: Use a standard, readable font like Times New Roman for the body of the paper. The font size should be 11 or 12. (For my classes, use 12.) Be sure the printer you use produces clear, easily visible print. Do not use fonts that look like handwriting or italics. Do not print the text in color. Justification: The paper should be left-justified (have an even left margin). It should not be right-justified (made to have an even right margin). The title, of course, should be centered. Margins and indentations: There should be a 1-inch margin on all sides (top, left, right, and bottom), although the page number will appear in the top margin. Do not assume that your word-processing program's default margins are correct for MLA style; check them. When an element must be indented, follow these rules: Paragraphs should be indented ½ inch (or 5 spaces). Indented quotations (more than 4 typed lines of prose or more than 3 lines of poetry) should be indented 1 inch (or 10 spaces). Items in the Works Cited list should be typed with a hanging indentation. Remember, the whole paper (including the list of works cited) should be double-spaced! Page numbers: Type the page number ½ inch from the top of the page in the right-hand corner. Put your last name before the number, and space between your name and the page number. Do not use any other letters or symbols unless your teacher has given special instructions. Page numbers appear on all pages, including the first page and the pages of the list of works cited. (Some instructors may ask you not to number the first page.) Heading: Unless your teacher specifically told you to do so, do not use a title page. Instead, begin the first page with a double-spaced heading typed even with the left margin. The first line is your name, the second is the teacher's name, the third is the course number, and the fourth is the date. Double-space again and type the title, centering it. (Do not underline it, put it in quotation marks, put it in italics, or put it in boldface. Just type it!) Use no extra spaces before or after the heading and title--the paper will be double spaced from the top of the first page to the end of the list of works cited. List of Works Cited: Keep page numbering turned on (if the last page of your paper is page 11, your Works Cited begins on page 12). Begin the list on a new page. Type the heading, "Works Cited," at the top, centering it. (Do not put it in quotation marks, underline it, etc.) Then type your entries, using a hanging indentation (see #5) and double spacing (see #1). Do not put extra space between the items. Styles and templates: Beginning with some sort of pre-formatted page can simplify following these rules, but remember that you are still responsible for the format of your paper. Check to make sure everything is correct, and be particularly careful to check that side margins are only 1 inch wide. Electronic submission: If you are asked to submit your paper in electronic form, follow your teacher's instructions on formatting and also on the way the paper is to be submitted (e-mail, through Blackboard, etc.). If the paper is for me, follow all the formatting rules given above so that the paper would meet MLA standards if it were printed.
