How to do MLA citation format

This format below is for writing a bibliography.
(not footnotes or endnotes. Footnotes and endnotes differ slightly.)

A bibliographic entry has three main parts, each separated by a period:

1. the author's name, reversed for alphabetizing;
   
2. the title;
   
3. and the publication information.
   

(A footnote or endnote has four parts: the author's name in normal order, then a comma; the title; the publication information in parenthesis; then a page reference, followed by a period.)
