csl_style_load: Load a CSL style

In ropenscilabs/seasl: Citation Style Language ('CSL') Utilities

Load a CSL style

Description

Load a CSL style

Usage

csl_style_load(input, ...)

Arguments

input	URL or local file path
...	Curl options passed on to crul::HttpClient

Details

This function fetches the style XML document, and parses it into a more reasonble R list that's easy to navigate. If you want the raw XML, see csl_style_xml()

Value

named list, including slots for

• info: basic top level information

• locale: locale information, if it exists

• macros: macros, 1 to many

• citation: the citation format, very messy now as the format is messy, parsed with xml2::as_list

• bibliography: very messy for now, we just run xml2::as_list on this element as it's complicated to parse

Examples

# Load a style from the Zotero style repository
