Status: I never much used Atom, but this was working. And it's since been discontinued. But I see there are forks, so will leave this here. I can't really support this, but PRs could be a possibility.

Or feel free to fork it.

atomic-csl

This is an Atom package providing a validating editing environment for documents conforming to a CSL schema. It is a fork of https://github.com/aerhard/xml-demo-package and https://github.com/neelsmith/atomic-tei, configured to use CSL's .rng schema.

Requirements

• Atom Editor, with linter-autocomplete-jing installed.

Per this post, you might also add these additional package along with the above, with this command.

apm install linter-autocomplete-jing atom-wrap-in-tag double-tag tag atom-beautify linter linter-ui-default intentions busy-signal

One-time setup

From a terminal in this directory, run

apm link

NB: if you decide to move this folder, you'll have to rerun apm link from the new location.

Updating dependencies

To update the required dependencies, simply run this from the same directory as initial setup.

apm update

Usage

XML files with filename extension .csl will be validated against CSL's csl.rng schema as you edit.

You can also manually set any XML document to use the CSL schema. One way is to click on the file-type setting at the bottom right of the Atom window. For example, if you start up a new Plain text document, click on the Plain text label, or if you a document opens as a generic XML type, click on XML, and then choose CSL Style from the list of document types you're offered. Another way to do this is to open the command palette (command-shift-p), and choose "Grammar selector: show" (control-shift-l), and choose CSL Style.

More information

The three directories grammar, settings and schemas configure the Atom package. If you want to modify settings (e.g., to configure different file extensions for validation with CSL), please see the documentation for the source package this is cloned from: https://github.com/aerhard/xml-demo-package.

TODO

• Fix auto grammar application based on file extension
• Schematron validation?
• Add CSL templates and maybe scripts to make creation of new, and editing existing, styles easier. For example, select author-date and apa as template, add updated element with correct datetime, etc.
