Re: Help with lua filter for docx to latex conversion

[Bastien DUMONT <bastien.dumont-VwIFZPTo/vqsTnJN9+BGXg@public.gmane.org>]

In `"\\cite[{](%w+)[}]"`, `(%w+)` is a capture. When the pattern in string.match() specifies a capture, it is returned instead of the whole match, so `citekey` has the value of the *content* of `\cite{...}` instead of the whole macro. I guess that it should work if you remove the parentheses.
