Scrivener > markdown > pandoc-citeproc > MS Word, BTW described here: https://medium.com/@andrzej.wodecki/scrivener-for-scientific-writing-setup-af5edf4482b8

But at the final stage of my writings I escaped from Scrivener (export to MS Word), with only citation keys left in my doc.

If only I start from scratch in MS Word that wouldn't be a problem, but...

My temporary workaround (very primitive, but works) is:

1. docx > pandoc > markdown

2. markdown: replace all \@ by @

3. markdown > pandoc-citeproc > docx

Anyway, if you have any ideas for anything smarter would be nice to hear :)

Yours, 

Andy

Pandoc doesn't expect to find markdown (including pandoc's citation syntax) in a Word file. That only works in markdown files (and perhaps org files). So when it sees a citation in word->markdown, it takes it literally, and escapes the brackets so it remains so in the markdown.

Perhaps someone else can recommend a configuration that won't escape citation syntax, allowing you to go to markdown, and then from that back to Word.

This seems convoluted though. If you're using Zotero, why not use the Word plugin for that? Or, why not stay in markdown as your source document?
