Comprehensive Documentation of csl

frankweber · April 17, 2009

Hi,

Does anybody know a link to a comprehensive and well-written csl-documentation?
The best link i found so far is here on the zotero-website:
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/csl_syntax_summary

but i wonder if theres not more to csl. i would be especially interested to find out about all the different media types that can be referenced in csl - files (like article-journal, article-magazine etc.) and if there are types for movies, or radio/tv broadcasts and so on..

Right now the schema itself might be the best resource for that (look around line 807):

N.B. most citation styles do not have different styling for too many different types. Try to keep your styles as generic as possible.
