 * Excellent plugin. However, the proper citation format for most of the style guides
   listed is this:
 * <author last name>, <author first name>.
 * With MLA, specifically, the format should be this:
 * Bukowski, Charles. “Party’s over.” Clock Radio Magazine, 12 June 2020, clockradiomagazine.
   com/charles-bukowski/partys-over/1760/.
 * Is there a way to have the author last name first, followed by a comma and then
   the author first name?
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcitation-format%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
