Hi,
thanks for your assessment. Indeed, that looks very promising.
I've now had a chance to look at this a bit more too. Not that I understand
that stuff in detail, but anyway...
I also have the impression that extending citeproc-formats.lua should be the
easiest part. As an aside, I think the HTML is in there because that is needed
for the test suite, but for ConTeXt we should be able to copy the LaTeX mapping
and tweak a few things here and there.
The LaTeX package is hard to understand, at least if you're not used to the
"new" latex3 programming syntax and style. I also can only guess what that
stuff does. But as you say this is rather isolated from the citeproc processing, so I
guess the main task would be to come up with an equivalent ConTeXt module that writes the
citations to the tuc file, calls the citeproc engine, and uses the results for the
output. Right? (I.e., AFAICS, everything that lives under
https://github.com/zepinglee/citeproc-lua/tree/main/citeproc should pretty much just
work, while https://github.com/zepinglee/citeproc-lua/tree/main/latex must be adapted.)
Does citeproc-lua/biblatex support using CSL files
(https://citationstyles.org/). IMO, that is currently the biggest limitation of
the context bib module that only a few citation styles are supported.
Developing a new citation style is relatively easy but a lot of work. Being
able to use CSL will simplify things (from the point of view of the user) a lot.
the main question is 'how easy is it to convertt one of these xml defs
into a context rendering' ... probably somethng we can do stepwise
using some external solution creates a dependency (and also maintainance
issue i guess) and there is a good change for interferences
(btw, in the apa one that we support the main complication is that it
has many variants / border cases)
