New line

In CSL, how (if at all) can one place a new line/carriage return before a
field in a bibliographic entry. The common place for this would be before an
annotation in an annotated bibliography.

Is it/Should it be a component of a layout

or a format option

formatting=

attribute prefix

attribute font-style

attribute start-new-paragraph

?

Previously, I had treated certain elements as blocks, like annotations
and abstracts.

With the new approach, I think we need another ways. It could be as
simple as a renderas attribute where you could set “block”. Am not sure.

There are LF ( ) and CR ( ) entities. We could simply use
these in the prefix and suffix attributes, rather than creating another.

But how are you supposed to map that to proper semantic output formats
(HTML, DocBook, etc.), where you are wanting:

Doe, J (1999) Title, ABC Books.

some notes.

Yeah, that’s a sticky issue. I suppose renderas=“block” (or
display=“block”, if we want to continue borrowing formatting from
CSS) is not a bad idea.

K:

$ svn commit -m “added display attribute and citation-label and
citation-number variables”

So what’s the plan to declare this thing 1.0?
