Escaping the colon works perfectly, after testing.
I had one other query. When I convert to docx, the foreign titles are put into sentence case, despite the fact that I have the language field set. So, for example, the entry in my bibtex file:
@BOOK{Weinrich1998-zr,
title = "Die Lichtbrechung in den Theorien von Descartes und Fermat",
author = "Weinrich, Klaus",
publisher = "F. Steiner",
series = "Sudhoffs Archiv: Beihefte",
year = 1998,
address = "Stuttgart",
language = "de"
}
turns up in my bibliography as: Weinrich, Klaus. 1998. Die Lichtbrechung in Den Theorien von Descartes Und Fermat.
Sudhoffs Archiv: Beihefte. Stuttgart: F. Steiner.
with "den" and "und" capitalized (but not "von"!). I see this behavior whether or notI explicitly include the Chicago csl file from the Zotero repository, or just use the pandoc default.

Thank you! I will backslash the colons in the file as a fix for now. - Robert.

Thanks (and apologies if I missed the files before).
Simple repro here:
```
hi[^fn3]
[^fn3]: [@Alhazen1572-qk, V.9]: "competentius est et rationabilius, ut appareat supra perpendiculum, quam extra eam."
```
This yields an empty footnote. Why? Because the footnote
contains:
```
[@Alhazen1572-qk, V.9]: "competentius est et rationabilius, ut appareat supra perpendiculum, quam extra eam."
```
which pandoc is parsing as a reference link definition!
Perhaps pandoc should not allow reference link definitions
that start with `@`, since these conflict with citations?
Anyone have thoughts about this? Someone should probably
put an issue on the bug tracker for this.
In the mean time, a workaround is to backslash-escape the
colon:
[@Alhazen1572-qk, V.9]\: "competentius...
