--NOTES
 
--
 
-- NOTE A1: This Lua module was originally designed to handle a mix
 
--      of citation styles, crossing Vancouver style with Wikipedia's
 
--      local Citation Style 1 (CS1) from {Template:Citation/core}.
 
--      However, the conflicting positions of parameters, scattered
 
--      in twisted locations across this module, led to a separate
 
--      variation just to untangle the CS1 format of citations.
 
--
 
-- NOTE D2: The placement of dots and other separators between the
 
--      displayed parameters has been a continual headache, to keep
 
--      coordinated with the data in parentheses "(data)". There
 
--      has been a need to pre-check for the existence of related
 
--      options, to keep from putting double-dots ".." in some cases.
 
--      In particular, the omission of the "title=" parameter has led
 
--      to several cases of a spurious dot ". ." because the original
 
--      design had treated the title as a mandatory parameter.
