I'm having difficulty using pandoc with the latex package turabian-formatting thesis, but some conflict between the pandoc latex template, `pandoc-citeproc`, and/or the latex package is clobbering the bibliography:

Giving advice is difficult without knowing more details... E.g. how are you loading the turabian-formatting package?

If I use citeproc, the bibliography is inserted at the end of the main body where the paragraph formatting is not correct for a bibliography.

Yeah, that's the way the bibliography is inserted at the moment. You can adjust the formatting if you redefine the cslreferences environment. The default is:

```\newlength{\cslhangindent}
\setlength{\cslhangindent}{1.5em}
\newenvironment{cslreferences}%
  {$if(csl-hanging-indent)$\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}%
  \everypar{\setlength{\hangindent}{\cslhangindent}}\ignorespaces$endif$}%
  {\par}
```

So, maybe that may be an easy solution if paragraph formatting is the only problem.

I don't know this particular package. But maybe you could just add a `\backmatter` commmand somewhere at the end of you paper?

If I use biblatex and `\printbibliography` command rather than citeproc, the bibliography never appears.

You are using the the `--biblatex` option? If so, the documentation says this:

> Use biblatex for citations in LaTeX output. This option is not for use with the pandoc-citeproc filter or with PDF output. It is intended for use in producing a LaTeX file that can be processed with bibtex or biber.

So, you can't go directly to PDF, but you'll need to produce a tex-file first. Then you can do pdflatex, biber, pdflatex as usual.

I've also tried to merge the default pandoc latex template with the turabian-formatting template, but citeproc seems determined to place the bibliography at the end of `\mainmatter`.

Yes, that's how it is currently. You can use this syntax to move your bibliography to some other place:

```
::: {#refs}
:::
```
But I think it will always end up in the body.

@JohnMacFarlane: Will your new-pandoc-citeproc library change that?

Best,
