MLA Header Generator

The MLA Header Generator does one small thing that students get marked down for constantly: it produces a correctly formatted MLA header and first-page heading — your name, instructor, course, date and title — with the right order, spacing and capitalisation, ready to paste into your document. Formatting rules are the kind of detail that is trivial once you know it and quietly costly when you do not, and the appeal here is that there is nothing to learn or install; you fill four fields and copy the result. It is free and requires no account, which is the correct model for a utility this narrow. Understand what it is not: it formats the header, not your citations, works cited page or in-text references, and it cannot verify that your instructor wants standard MLA rather than a departmental variant — plenty do ask for small deviations, so check your assignment sheet. It also does not handle the running header with page numbers inside your word processor for you. As a five-second fix for the top of a paper, though, it removes a recurring annoyance completely.
