Dear John,

Indeed, I see that there is an internal representation in the form of a
Meta object. I made a dummy bibliography with 4 entries. After converting
to JSON the following structure was apparent:

{
    "pandoc-api-version": [...],
    "meta": {
        "nocite": {...}
        "references":  {...}
    },
    "blocks": []
}

references contains a list of MetaMapswhich contain the recognizable BibTeX
data. blocks is empty and nocite contains some additional data which I
don’t understand.

What is the role of nocite and blocks in this AST?

Regards,

Amine
