Standalone Markdown with Bibliography

Standalone Markdown with Bibliography

[Andrew Dunning]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1458 bytes --]

When asking Pandoc to produce a standalone Markdown file (i.e. using the -s 
flag), it helpfully includes a link in the YAML metadata to the 
bibliography. Does anyone know of a way, however, to have it automatically 
output the actual data for the citations used into the YAML block? (I hoped 
that --bib2yaml might do it, but this can only be used with pandoc-citeproc 
on its own.)

This would be very useful for producing a portable or archival version of 
the file, especially when working from a bibliography file that has more 
information than is actually used in the document. Additionally, it would 
also provide a way when importing data from another reference manager (e.g. 
from Zotero via zotxt) to modify the results before moving on to another 
format, notably for features that are supported in CSL and pandoc but not 
the reference manager.

All best,

Andrew Dunning

You can use pandoc-citeproc --bib2yaml to produce a YAML block
that can be pasted directly into a pandoc markdown document.

So, if biblio.bib is your bibliography and input.txt is your
source file, just do:

pandoc-citeproc -y < biblio.bib >> input.txt

Thanks for the reply; glad it wasn't me, in any case. The problem is that 
I'm not working from my own bibliography file, relying instead on the 
wonderful zotxt filter running inside pandoc. In order to get the JSON 
bibliography file, which zotxt creates somewhere under /var/folders/ each 
time it runs, one has to first generate a new standalone Markdown file, 
like so:

pandoc -F pandoc-zotxt -F pandoc-citeproc document.md -o newdocument.md -s

This provides the full path in the new file's YAML block, and the file can 
be adapted for one's own purposes without further need of zotxt or Zotero.

It would be very convenient if this this could be automated, but I do not 
have the skills to implement it myself, and I have no desire to exploit 
your munificence.
