Thanks, Denis for your reply.

<how are you loading the turabian-formatting package?

I tried setting the documentclass with the `--variable` option like so:

```pandoc --variable documentclass="turabian-researchpaper" 
--pdf-engine=xelatex --bibliography "Bibliography.bib" --csl 
"chicago-note-bibliography-with-ibid.csl" --filter pandoc-citeproc 
Big_Idea.md -f markdown_mmd+citations -o out.pdf
```
In order to customize the bibliography formating, I started customizing the 
default latex template.

I modified the cslreferences environment as you suggested:

```\newlength{\cslhangindent}
\setlength{\cslhangindent}{1.5em}
\newenvironment{cslreferences}%
  \singlespacing
  {\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}%
  \setlength{\parskip}{1em}%
  \everypar{\setlength{\hangindent}{\cslhangindent}}\ignorespaces}%
  {\par}
```
But this makes the space between entries single not double. Is \parskip not 
the command to use for this?
