Yaml Metadata Bibliography

Git log is output as metadata formatted as yaml.

in order to be legible for CSL, yaml has to:

1. follow specific terms (e.g. 'id', 'categories', 'note', 'language') these are predefined in the fixed vocabulary of csl
2. which comply to specified object types (e.g. id = string or number, categories = array of string)

both are documented in this list

examples of bibliographies yaml/json and yaml for formatting.

CSL

Citation Style Language

is an xml based markup language for formatting references, bibliographies and inline citations using standard citation styles such as APA, Harvard etc.

CSL is divided in dependent (linked/ based on an independent style, usually linked in the head, less metadata needs to be defined bc the actual citation formatting is only linked to) and independent (defines citation format, relies on locale files specifying languages dates, terms and grammar) styles.
