In case you are not too far into your writing, an option would be to use pandoc which has CSL support. There are multiple MLA styles for CSL ( http://zotero.org/styles), though I have no idea if they are good for your purpose. This would be the equivalent of pre-rendering your citations as you translate from Markdown to Context. So by Context they should already be plain-text and require little or no special handling (you might need to add a command to make the bibliography at the end of 'overhanging'). --f46d0444ee2da78c4b04bdd17354 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

FWIW, I decided to just hand-write all the (MLA-s= tyle) citations in my masters thesis.
