Converting a bibliography in a pandoc-generated docx file back into a yaml block

Converting a bibliography in a pandoc-generated docx file back into a yaml block

[Maaike Visser]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1174 bytes --]

As the title says. My question is: is this possible? I have a .docx file 
which was generated from a .md file using the following pandoc command:

> pandoc --reference-doc ref.docx --filter=pandoc-citeproc -o file.docx file.md
>
>
and then converted back using

> pandoc -s --to markdown-grid_tables-simple_tables+pipe_tables --atx-headers -o file.md file.docx
>
>
On the way to .docx, pandoc neatly creates a bibliography at the end of the 
docx file. However, on the way back, the bibliography is not converted back 
into a yaml block. Is it possible to do so?
Thanks!

### Text

· … ὅτι τὸ ᾽Αθήνησι Φορβαντεῖον ὠνομάσθη ἀπὸ Φόρβαντος βασιλεύσαντος Κουρήτων καὶ ὑπ᾽ ᾽Ερεχθέως ἀναιρεθέντος δεδήλωκεν ῎Ανδρων ἐν ῆ τῶν Συγγενειῶν. ἦν δὲ Ποσειδῶνος υἱὸς ὁ Φόρβας, καθά φησιν ῾Ελλάνικος ἐν ᾱ ᾽Ατθίδος.

### Translation

Andron in the eighth book of his Kinsmen has shown that the shrine of Phorbas in Athens was named from Phorbas, the king of the Kouretes, who was killed by Erechtheus. Phorbas was the son of Poseidon, as Hellanikos says in the first book of his Atthis (*FGrH* 4 F 40). (s. [F 13](#F_13))

### Critical Apparatus

### Commentary on the text

### Commentary

Other fragments ([F 6-7](#F_6)) identify this author of a work concerning heroic myths as a native of Halikarnassos in southwestern Asia Minor. The citation of an eighth book indicates that *Sungeneiai* (*Kinsmen*) was a voluminous work, which was epitomized later in antiquity (see [F 5](#F_5)), presumably to facilitate the task of consulting its contents.

Andron’s Phorbas, king of the Kouretes, resembled heroes with the same name mentioned by other ancient writers.

### Text

\[ἄκων δ᾽ ἀπέκτεινεν ῾Υά//κινθον ᾽Από\]λλων \[δίσκωι· κ\]αί φησιν \[τὸν τάφον\] καὶ περι\[ανθί\]σαι ῎Ανδρω̣\[ν ἐν τοῖς Σ\]υνγενικο̣ῖ̣ς.

### Translation

Apollo unwillingly killed Hyakinthos with a discus. Andron in his Families says that his grave blossomed with flowers all around.

### Critical Apparatus

### Commentary on the text

### Commentary

Concerning the accidental death of the youth Hyakinthos at Sparta at the hands of his lover, the god Apollo, see Pseudo-Apollodoros, Library 1.3.3; 3.10.3; Pausanias 3.19.4-5; Ovid, Metamorphoses 10.162. However, this reconstruction of the text of Philodemos’s On Piety is questionable. A more recent reconstruction of the papyrus on which this work is preserved reads as follows (see R.L. Fowler, *Early Greek Mythography* (Oxford 2000), 12-13, 46):

[+]{.underline} 8       \]λο τασ

[+]{.underline} 5    Ἀπό\]λλων\[α

[+]{.underline} 6      \]καί φησιν

[+]{.underline} 6     \]καὶ περι

[+]{.underline} 6     \]σαι ἄνδρα

[+]{.underline} 5      συνγενικῶσ

This section of the papyrus is followed immediately by Philodemos’s discussion of the myth of Zeus’s slaying of Asklepios with a thunderbolt, in which he cited Andron (see [F 17](#F_17)). The mention of Apollo in this reconstruction of the text could refer to Apollo’s murder of the Kyklopes, who manufactured Zeus’s thunderbolts, whom Apollo killed to avenge the death of his son Asklepios (Apollodoros, *Library* 3.10.4; see the Commentary to [F 3](#F_3)). Considering the uncertainty regarding the reconstruction of this section of *On Piety*, this fragment of Andron is not certain.

## Biographical Essay

The historian Polybios (second century BC) would have classified Andron of Halikarnassos among those writers whose audience liked to hear a good story touching on genealogies and the foundation of colonies and cities (Polybios 9.1.4).

Andron enjoyed a fine reputation in the centuries that followed his demise.

Re: Converting a bibliography in a pandoc-generated docx file back into a yaml block

[BP Jonsson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2503 bytes --]

I thought that there might be tools out there which can convert it to
bibtex which then can be converted to YAML with pandoc-citeproc and sure
enough my top Google hit for "docx to bibtex" contains both an explanaiton
why it isn't trivial and some suggested tools. (The tools seem to have been
downvoted but the OP was apparently satisfied.)

In short -- currently you can't do this; it would
require some changes to the code, already requested
in this issue.
