Hi Bastien,

Oh my, thank you very much for taking the time to assist! I downloaded your 
Lua filter (I didn't realize that filters were possible with Pandoc!) and 
included it in my Pandoc command:

pandoc --citeproc --lua-filter=remove-parentheses-from-cite.lua Test.tex 
--bibliography=testref.bib 
--csl=chicago-fullnote-bibliography-short-title-subsequent.csl -o test.docx

Unfortunately I received an error message: "bad argument #1 to 'gsub' 
(string expected, got nil)"

If helpful, I've attached the test .tex file I'm using? Any thoughts 
greatly appreciated!
