-The CSL Editor provides instant processing of a CSL style, using items selected in your local Zotero library. The CSL Editor Window is divided into two parts. The upper portion of the window shows the CSL style code. You can load an installed style by selecting it from the dropdown menu in the upper-right corner. You can also paste CSL style code from your clipboard. The lower portion of the CSL Editor window shows formatted citations and bibliography references for the style you are editing. Choose items to format by selecting one or more items in your local Zotero library and clicking the "Refresh" button.

 You can preview the style's behavior for several types of citation modifications. A locator (page number, chapter, verse, etc.) can be specified using the pull-down menu and adjoining text-box on the left of the toolbar (e.g., to obtain "(Doe 2002, p.52)"). The "Suppress Author" option can be checked (so that a "(Doe 2002)" citation gets rendered as "(2002)"). Finally, the position of the cites can changed, so it is possible to see how cites to previously cited items are rendered (e.g., if a citation should be rendered as "(Doe, Jones, & Smith, 2002)" the first time, but "(Doe et al., 2002)" subsequently). You can also change the language of the formatted citations and bibliography.
