Tagged Output

[dominic01]

Is it possible to get a tagged output in addition to the styles. input:

{
  "Item-2": {
    "id": "Item-2",
    "type": "book",
    "title": "Mastering Regular Expressions",
    "publisher": "O'Reilly Media",
    "number-of-pages": "544",
    "edition": "3",
    "source": "Amazon.com",
    "ISBN": "0596528124",
    "author": [
      {
        "family": "Friedl",
        "given": "Jeffrey E. F."
      }
    ],
    "issued": {
      "date-parts": [
        [ "2006", 8, 15 ]
      ]
    }
  }
}

Output Bibliography: APA Friedl, J. E. F. (2006). Mastering Regular Expressions (3rd ed.). O’Reilly Media.

I am expecting a tagged output like: <aus><au>Friedl, J. E. F.</au></aus>. (<dt>2006</dt>). <ti>Mastering Regular Expressions</ti> (<et>3rd ed.</et>). <pu>O’Reilly Media</pu>.

Is it possible?

Yes, this is possible. You have to create your own style as follows.

First of all, you have to find a style that is closest to what you want to achieve. In your case, it seems to be APA. Download the original style file from https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/9296c8c/apa.csl and amend it with the tags you need. For example, from line 78 to 96 you'll find the macro for the author. Use the prefix and suffix attributes to add your <au> and </au> tags respectively. Do the same for the other macros and tags.

After that, pass the style as a string to the CSL.Engine constructor:

var citeproc = new CSL.Engine(citeprocSys, yourNewStyleAsText);

Appreciate your response and this is exactly what I did in my test environment. This is working and thank you. However, I am looking for a more generic way of getting the tags. That is using the JSON element names as tags like ,
