The idea
Formatting means following the layout a style guide requires: margins, spacing, headers, titles and the list of sources.
In practice
MLA papers, for example, use a running header with the writer's name and page number; APA papers use a title page and headings.
Where people slip
Instructors may modify a style guide; their instructions come first.
