If you pass multiple references the first counts as the main reference, while the
rest are added in the references list. To specify a different entry as the main
reference, pass the entry ID in the main option:

`js
Cite(/ ... /).format('cff', {
main: '...'
})
`

Alternatively, the entry can have _cff_mainReference set to true, but that
is mainly used for round-tripping.

To specify the preferred citation, pass the entry ID in the preferred option.

To generate CFF 1.1.0 output, pass '1.1.0' to the cffVersion option.

You can also specify the message, a mandatory part of every CFF file. By default,
the message is:

> Please cite the following works when using this software.

To change it, pass a string to the message option when formatting:

`js
Cite(/ ... /).format('cff', {
message: 'If you use this software, please cite it as below.'
})
