If I understand correctly, what you are trying to achieve is shown in the pdf I attach here, i.e. a formated reference in the footnote, without the authors' names. To do this, I used a csl file such as (there are plenty more with the "note" style), added the following yaml header to your text.md file: --- bibliography: test.bib csl: chicago-fullnote-bibliography-short-title-subsequent.csl suppress-bibliography: true --- and then run: pandoc --citeproc -o test.pdf test.md I attach the md, csl and pdf files for you to try. Sorry, but I can't comment on your workflow (sh and index files), too complex for me!
