Does LaTeX format to MLA?

I have started using LaTeX to write up my reports and documents. My question is whether or not LaTeX formats everything in MLA style by default (eg. space from writing to margins is 1 inch, bibliographies are MLA style etc). If not, is there anyway to do so? thank you

I have no idea what's MLA.

But you can adjust pretty much everything in LaTeX:
1) margins -> use the geometry package. That lets you adjust the margins (and more)
2) for bibliographies, there's a couple of standard styles; and if that's not enough, use the biblatex package (or biblatex-dw) [in AUR].
