Export to a specific file format (APA)

Export to a specific file format (APA)

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1005 bytes --]

So my workflow involves writing in plaintext and then exporting 1 or more 
of these files into a word file (docx) for school submission. When I export 
using pandoc, I then have additional steps I need to take to properly 
format the document (title page, headers, spacing, font, indentations, page 
numbers, etc). I would like to export so that the formatting is mostly 
already completed. Can someone walk me through this process?

Quoting from manual:

--reference-doc=*FILE*

Use the specified file as a style reference in producing a docx or ODT file.

For best results, the reference docx should be a modified version of a docx 
file produced using pandoc. The contents of the reference docx are ignored, 
but its stylesheets and document properties (including margins, page size, 
header, and footer) are used in the new docx. If no reference docx is 
specified on the command line, pandoc will look for a file reference.docx 
in the user data directory (see --data-dir). If this is not found either, 
sensible defaults will be used.

To produce a custom reference.docx, first get a copy of the default 
reference.docx: pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.docx > 
custom-reference.docx. Then open custom-reference.docx in Word, modify the 
styles as you wish, and save the file. For best results, do not make 
changes to this file other than modifying the styles used by pandoc: 
[paragraph] Normal, Body Text, First Paragraph, Compact, Title, Subtitle, 
Author, Date, Abstract, Bibliography, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, 
Heading 4, Heading 5, Heading 6, Heading 7, Heading 8, Heading 9, Block 
Text, Footnote Text, Definition Term, Definition, Caption, Table Caption, 
Image Caption, Figure, Captioned Figure, TOC Heading; [character] Default 
Paragraph Font, Body Text Char, Verbatim Char, Footnote Reference, 
Hyperlink; [table] Table.

Thank you so much. This solves my issue explicitly. Exactly what I needed.
Best,
Victor
