options with a custom csl template

Hello, I am trying to get citations providing a csl template, but it seems to ignore the template and return a default citation format (apa I think). Is this feature provided? Is something wrong with the following options?

var opt = { format: 'string', type : 'string', style : 'citation', lang : 'en-US', template : <XML_CSL> };

Thanks!

It worked! Thanks for the example.

v0.3.0-0 isn’t regular v0.3.0 yet; I’m adding requested/important features or API changes step by step. Cite.registerTemplate() isn’t implemented yet.

Anyway, turns out I forgot to mention one detail to make the already weird API work: it only looks for templates if you pass it as an option to .get(). The following works for me. I used a really simple CSL for brevity.

var test = new Cite('[ { id: "Q23571040", type: "article-journal", title: "Correlation of the Base Strengths of Amines 1", DOI: "10.1021/ja01577a030", author: [ { given: "H. K.", family: "Hall" } ], issued: [ { date-parts: [ "1957", "1", "1" ] } ], container-title: "Journal of the American Chemical Society", volume: "79", issue: "20", page: "5441-5444" } ]')

var customTemplate = 
  '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
    '<style xmlns="http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl" class="in-text" version="1.0" demote-non-dropping-particle="sort-only" page-range-format="minimal">' +
      '<bibliography>' +
        '<layout>' +
          '<text variable="title"/>' +
        '</layout>' +
      '</bibliography>' +
  '</style>'

var data_a = test.get({		// First call
  format: 'string',
  type: 'string',
  style: 'citation-custom',
  template: customTemplate
})

var data_b = test.get({		// Subsequent calls
  format: 'string',
  type: 'string',
  style: 'citation-custom'
})

I’m really sorry for all the trouble and not providing a working example earlier.
