- will use a default style: either `default.csl` in the
- user data directory (see `--data-dir`), or, if that is
- not present, the Chicago author-date style.
-
-`--citation-abbreviations=`*FILE*
-: Specify a file containing abbreviations for journal titles and
- other bibliographic fields (indicated by setting `form="short"`
- in the CSL node for the field). The format is described at
