[Zotero] #1365: allow CSL directory to be user-configured

Might be of more general interest.

My basic thought is that all CSL implementations probably ought to
think about caching styles at a common location; maybe '~/.csl/styles’
so they can be shared.---------- Forwarded message ----------

As more applications start to use CSL for style configuration*, there
might be value in allowing a user-configurable style directory, and
perhaps consider a default like ‘~/.csl/styles’.

  • the new application Mendeley, for example, stores CSL files in its
    application package, and most/all of them are taken from the Zotero
    repository. I personally use CSL with both Zotero and Pandoc + citeproc-
    hs.
