Yes, that would work, but what I need is \cite{} as the first one, followed by \autocite{}. What Pandoc gives is \textcite{}… \autocite{}. That produces a different result in SBL (or any Chicago-based footnote) BibLaTeX style. At the moment, as far as I can tell, there's no way to get Pandoc to generate a \cite{} command, which is what I need. For some BibLaTeX the choice between \textcite{} and \autocite{} is sufficient to cover most use cases. But for the SBL style, it's very difficult to write without access to at least \cite{} as well, and I'm wondering whether you'd consider adding some syntax to allow \cite{} to be called. Does that make more sense? On Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 9:27:11 AM UTC+1, John MacFarlane wrote: > > I'm not sure I follow exactly.
