Thanks for the additional suggestions. I ended up writing a rough filter that works for my simple example: https://github.com/aringeri/pandoc-citation-linking/blob/main/app/Main.hs
I'm not too sure this is the idiomatic way of doing it in pandoc. I'm sure I will develop on this as I figure out my workflow. It's good to know that pandoc is very customizable.

However, while you can just omit `--citeproc` when targeting docx, once you go back you’ll end up with citations like `\[@doe\]`, i.e. brackets will be escaped in the markdown. It’s obviously easy enough to take care of that with search-replace, but it’s not a fully automatic solution.

Probably a good suggestion.

Might it be simpler to leave the citekeys unprocessed during the initial conversion to Word?

 

I think the citekyes format is simple enough to be self explanatory, and the markup is no more disruptive to reading then a standard author date citation style. You can tell your collaborators that these will be replaced by appropriately formatted citations at the final edit stage.

Hello! I am investigating using pandoc for my academic writing. I intend to do the majority of the writing in markdown but will have others reviewing and giving feedback through word (docx), and would like a way to re-integrate the edits back to markdown while keeping the text as close as possible. (md -> docx -> md)

 

In my markdown I have citations using the [@citekey] format:

 

Here is a reference to one of the entries in my bibliography [@Aigrain2021].

 

I would like a way to preserve citations when converting between docx and md.

I've tried the following approach but just get plain text (in the markdown) where the citation was.

 

Here is a reference to one of the entries in my bibliography (Aigrain
2021).

 

I am not sure whether the citations are being lost in the md to docx step or the docx to md step. (I am not familiar with the how word even stores citations)

 

Is what I want to do supported?

I have the files:

main.md

main.bib

nature-conservation.csl

 

The command I'm using to convert to docx (md -> docx):

pandoc --citeproc \
--bibliography main.bib \
--csl nature-conservation.csl \
-t docx+citations -o main.docx \
-f markdown+citations main.md

 

The command I'm using to convert back to markdown:

pandoc -s --citeproc \
--bibliography main.bib \
--csl nature-conservation.csl \
-t markdown+citations -o main.md \
-f docx+citations main.docx

 

Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
