Re: How to represent circa and BCE in yaml?

Actually, I don’t think so. There’s some documentation on CSL JSON dates (https://citeproc-js.readthedocs.io/en/latest/csl-json/markup.html#date-fields), but nothing I’m aware of on CSL YAML date syntax - which is in part different from CSL JSON’s.

I really wish both CSL JSON and CSL YAML were using a fully standardized date format such as ISO8601/EDTF - it would make things so much easier.

Fortunately, biblatex does use ISO8601/EDTF, so if in doubt, you can always put together a minimal biblatex record, run it through `pandoc-citeproc -y` and inspect the output.

This at first appeared strange to me as well, but while bug reports at https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/issues eventually will be taken note of, too, de facto it is the Zotero forum where the vast majority of CSL style file issues are being reported and discussed.
