I'm converting from Markdown to Markdown in order to expand citations, as described here:

https://groups.google.com/g/pandoc-discuss/c/HM0y16gENfc

My input files use the 'lazy' block quotation syntax (a `>` preceding each block and blank line); the output is line-wrapped, with a `>` on each line. Is there a way to suppress this behaviour?

To put my question more generally, is it possible to use Pandoc to expand citations only?

Thanks for the indispensable software.
