And here's the publications.md file that I used as the input:
```

nocite: '@*'

# Journal articles & conference papers

:::{#refs_journal}

# Op-eds & press articles

hello community,

I am a new user to pandoc. I am trying to generate the bibliography for a document. My template looks like this:

```
$body$
```

This allows me to create a plain text document from markdown without header, title, toc, etc.

```
body text with references...

References

reference 1
...
reference n
```

I want to remove the body, too and only stick with:

```
References

reference 1
...
reference n
```
```

Is it possible to generate the reference only? If possible i would like to further modify the format of references, too.
