Quick suggestion for Dan and Peter:

a CSL preview for citations should include locators; e.g.:

```
(Doe, 1999: 23)

```

I added this to the preview in zotero (attached to the trac ticket), just  
enhancing it now (supressing authors is also good!).

Cool!

And ultimately we need, perhaps, a good handful or so of test/preview  
data that is independent of user data. That could perhaps be used both  
for quicker previewing, for generating previews for repositories, and  
maybe also for testing CSL processor implementations.

Yes - I suggest to Dan (I think) loading RDF files with suitable data  
alongside the styles.  
I also added to the style preview app a way to filter by author-date/number  
and in-text/note forms - otherwise it takes too long to find a style to work  
from!

Julian–  
Could you also add the “subsequent citation” view for Chicago note w/  
o bibliography to the preview, if you haven’t already? That would be  
very useful.  
Thanks!

FWIW, here’s an example doc I used to demonstrate (and test) the xslt  
implementation.

[http://xbiblio.sourceforge.net/citeproc/examples/apa-en.html](http://xbiblio.sourceforge.net/citeproc/examples/apa-en.html)

So it also is set up to preview et al and ibid handling.
