MLA Formatting

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Hi all,

I have a question with regards to formatting compiled scrivener files to MLA standards. Page number on the top right of the page, the writer’s last name on the top right, beside the page number, on each page. Here is an example of what I mean. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/16/

Hitherto, I have been writing up my essays on scrivener and have been using Microsoft Word to format the document. I don’t like having to switch programs and was wondering if there was a way to do this within scrivener itself.

I just figured out the solution to my problem. I didn’t realize that under the compiler, there was an ‘all options’ setting. That enabled me to set the page number and name in the top right hand corner of my document.

Perhaps this a suggestion…a way to see the document’s headers and footers and page numbers all on the page view. I know this might make the app bloated but I do think it would nice to see it rather than having to compile it.
