So what might that involve? Maybe: 1) easier, quicker, more robust input of more variable, and complex, input data; the sort of stuff behind this issue: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/issues/4 2) the ability to do something with the results. For example, if the edit distance is 0, then other results should be hidden or deemphasized, and the user should be given the choice to either use that style (click "install style"), or to create a dependent style with a new name (for journal styles). If there is no direct match, then ideally it would take the closest match, ask if the user wants to create a new style, and then simply create it straightaway, and create a preview for the user to confirm. > Aside from the direct benefit, it could collect formatted citation > data for styles which don't yet exist, help identify bugs in the > existing styles, and help to crowd source a large test suite of > formatted styles.
