Liquid Exception: failed to extract CSL data from "mla" #307

Hi, I'm taking on the project of trying to integrate jekyll-scholar and Fastpages.

I have style: mla in my _config.yml file as in the documentation, but when I run the build, I hit the following: 

 Liquid Exception: failed to extract CSL data from "mla": No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - mla in /data/_posts/2020-07-01-Citations-Via-Bibtex.md jekyll_1     | /usr/local/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/csl-1.5.1/lib/csl/loader.rb:90:in `rescue in extract_data_from': failed to extract CSL data from "mla": No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - mla (CSL::ParseError)

Any suggestion on what to do about this?

Since I know I'll be asked:

  * jekyll-scholar (6.8.0)
    Summary: Jekyll extensions for the academic blogger.
    Homepage: http://github.com/inukshuk/jekyll-scholar
    Path: /var/lib/gems/2.7.0/gems/jekyll-scholar-6.8.0

In case this helps provide more info/context:

BTW, I have jekyll-scholar enabled probably three different ways currently. sudo gem install didn't seem to do the sufficient work, adding the requires to an extra file in the _plugins directory, editing the Gemfile, and adding gem command in the config file. Running bundle install after all that seemed to have done the trick.

Doing all of those things seemed to be necessary just to get it to stop complaining about an unknown {% bibliography %} tag and get me to the point where I could start seeing errors about the bibliography itself, e.g. the fact that jekyll-scholar seems to crash on any url = tags in the BibTex file. :-( Saying goodbye to my urls is what got me to the present error.

That's likely a mistake in the README (or maybe the styles were renamed in the meantime). Currently, these MLA styles are available:

You can see all available styles if you check the contents of the csl-styles Gem (in vendor/styles).

Ok, thank you for the clarification! I also see the list posted in the csl-styles repository. Great. An update to the README would fix this Issue.
