# fahrenheit-lang

`fahrenheit` is a domain-specific language for authoring citations and bibliographies styles. It compiles to [CSL][].

## Why?

[CSL][] has become the _de facto_ standard for codifying citations and bibliographies styles. It is widely adopted and has excellent documentation. I have no intention to change that.

However authoring citations and bibliographies styles in XML can be tedious and/or verbose. The `fahrenheit` language aims to offer an improved styles authoring experience whilst complying to the [CSL][] specification.

Here's a contrived example:

```clojure

{:about

  {:id "http://www.zotero.org/styles/apa"

   :title [:en "American Psychological Association 7th edition"]

   :title-short "APA"}}

```

The above code compiles to:

```xml

  <info>

    <id>http://www.zotero.org/styles/apa</id>

    <title xml:lang="en">American Psychological Association 7th edition</title>

    <title-short>APA</title-short>

  </info>

```
