Main/sub title splitting in citeproc-js

[Frank Bennett]

A user from Brazil has posted a request for main/sub title splits to the Zotero forums:

https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/338092

As I note in the thread, citeproc-js is capable of doing this. While I mentioned in the thread that "the default could be changed," I won't be changing the default in the processor source, since the variables "title-main" and "title-sub" that it makes available are outside the CSL specification. Whether to use it is not my call.

The option can be enabled in the sys object used to instantiate the processor:

    sys.main_title_from_short_title = true;

(And yeah, the option is badly named. It dates from the time when main/sub splits required matching content in the shortTitle field, which is no longer the case.)

It seems like it would be better to discuss this first on the CSL list to see if there's any chance of official take-up, no? While it sounds like the case for this is clear, we don't really want to get in the habit of adding support for unofficial style features that won't work in other programs.

Yes, I wavered over whether to post here or to CSL Discuss. Will repost there and see what happens with it.
