Re: Examples of Pandoc MD-formatted Academic Papers

[Pranesh Prakash <the.solipsist-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

I just tried out:

$ pandoc /home/sol/articles/2014-01-14_invisible-censorship-a-look-at-indias-information-technology-act_yaml.txt
--bibliography=/home/sol/articles/biblio.bibtex
--csl=/home/sol/articles/bluebook.csl --standalone --self-contained -o
/home/sol/articles/2014-01-14_invisible-censorship-a-look-at-indias-information-technology-act_yaml.odt

and that command hangs.

It works if I don't specify --bibliography.  Is there a verbose/debug
flag I can set to see why it's hanging?

Here's my BibTeX file:
http://pastebin.com/YKgzpBFs

and here is the extract I'm trying to convert:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=w59qk4Hp

The YAML block also doesn't work.  (How would I change this?)
