This CSL file is an adaptation of APA 6th ed. by Kornblith et al. to create YAML-style metadata from a citation (in place of in-text citation; this CSL file has no Bibliography section definition). Like the file on which it is based, this CSL file is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License license. Adding my name to the list of contributors, the file has copyright 2015 Jacob G. Levernier; portions copyright 2015 Simon Kornblith, Bruce D'Arcus, Curtis M.

Using this style definition, the reference

...would be transformed by the CSL file into this:
INSTRUCTIONS: Use your text editor to find-and-replace all instances of (without the spaces) '| | |' with '\r\n' (this means 'new line' in most text editors). Then delete this line.||||||---|||Author: Alfano, M.|||Issued: 2013|||Title: Character as moral fiction|||Publisher-place: Cambridge|||Publisher: Cambridge University Press|||URL: http://public.eblib.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=1099907|||---||||||
...which, when the instructions are followed, becomes this:

(The ||| line delimiters are a workaround to allow use of the CSL Visual Editor, which I've found deletes XML linebreaks when used to edit a CSL file.)
This CSL file is especially useful for cases in which a user wants to take plaintext notes on a reference in a standalone file.
