This problem was introduced with citeproc, which applies the style to the 
whole document, not just citations - it didn't occur with older versions of 
pandoc that used pandoc-citeproc. According to Jim 
<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/7005#issuecomment-754179054>, it 
would be tricky to fix this without causing problems with note citations.
