    initial v1  
    33Re the CSL editor project, I've been trying to push the idea of offering users a straightforward code editor (for which this seems perfect), but with two-way clickable connections between the CSL code and text elements in the rendered citation.

    5 If citeproc-js were extended slightly to track node positions and macro-generated elements, preview citations could be rendered with clickable areas that highlight their own origin in the CSL code. That simple feedback would get a lot over users over the conceptual hurdle with CSL, which I think is the best way forward -- if we bring users closer to CSL, rather than the other way around, we vastly expand the manpower base for style maintenance, which is a major bottleneck at the moment.

    77If anyone wants to pick that idea up, I'd be very happy to help out on the citeproc-js end.
