Is it possible to iterate over a YAML file containing the elements I want
converted into another format?
Here is a snippet of my current YAML structure (it is in YAML so that I can
use it in other ways later - such as with R)
---
Items:
"@Kamieniecki_Prevalencepsychologicaldistress_2001":
Focus: "Prevalence of psychological distress or disorders in young
people who are homeless in Australia"
Number of studies: 14
Reported findings: "Young people who are homeless have high rates of
psychological disorders and score higher on tests of psychological distress"
Reference: "@Kamieniecki_Prevalencepsychologicaldistress_2001"
Tags:
- negative_outcomes
- mental_health
"@EmbletonMwangiEtAl_epidemiologysubstanceuse_2013":
Focus: "Prevalence of lifetime substance use in children living on the
street in 'resource constrained settings'"
Number of studies: 50
Reported findings: "Pooled prevalence estimate of 60% [95% CI: 51-69%]"
Reference: "@EmbletonMwangiEtAl_epidemiologysubstanceuse_2013"

- substance_use
...
Is it possible to get pandoc (or a pandoc filter) to iterate over each of
the items and extract specific elements (perhaps even conditionally - e.g.
only those with certain tags)?
Brendan.

If you're targeting PDF, yes, this is easy, you can just
create a custom latex template and use the iteration commands
($for$) provided in the template language.
For Docx, you'd need to write a filter, because there is
no template.
