Hi,
I just wrote a book with hundreds of references stored in mylibrary.lib file.
Due to my original workflow (Scrivener > Markdown > pandoc-citeproc > MS Word)
at the moment I have everything in an MS Word file, where each citation is in the form [@citation_key], like below:
From [@andy2020] we can see that...
My goal is to generate the bibliography (I use Zotero as a reference manager).
And here comes the problem: I tried many options with pandoc-citeproc and nothing worked...
Below is a simplified version of my trials and errors.
The mylibrary.bib file has only one entry looks like this:
@article{andy2020,
title = {Reinforcement Learning: {{A}} Survey},
volume = {4},
shorttitle = {Reinforcement Learning},
journaltitle = {Journal of artificial intelligence research},
date = {1996},
pages = {237--285},
author = {Kaelbling, Leslie Pack and Littman, Michael L. and Moore, Andrew W.}
}
1. First trial
with in.md:
From [@andy2020] we can see that...
command:
pandoc in.md --filter pandoc-citeproc --bibliography mylibrary.bib -o out.docx
correctly generates docx:
From (Kaelbling, Littman, and Moore 1996) we can see that…
Kaelbling, Leslie Pack, Michael L. Littman, and Andrew W. Moore. 1996. “Reinforcement Learning: A Survey.” Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research 4: 237–85.
2. Second trial
with in.docx:
From [@andy2020] we can see that...
pandoc in.docx --filter pandoc-citeproc --bibliography mylibrary.bib -o out.docx
generates out.docx with:
From [@andy2020] we can see that...
No bibliography generated.
3.
with in.docx:
From [@andy2020] we can see that...
command:
pandoc in.docx --filter pandoc-citeproc --bibliography mylibrary.bib -o out.md
generates out.md with:
From \[\@andy2020\] we can see that\...
Note some escape \ characters...
My goal is to successfully generate a bibliography from in.docx to out.docx, like in the second trial.
Any ideas? That extremely important to me, I have literally hundreds of references...
I would really appreciate Your help,
Many thanks in advance :)
Andy
