Dear Bastien

Thanks! I checked your idea and it is working perfectly fine! Thanks! I managed to create the exact filter I need to generate the right citation for Bibtex from a docx file. I managed to recreate the right entries by using \citetext and \citeapl for complex references.

Thanks. I can post my filter for those interested. There is still some major differences between the docx filter and the md conversions to latex.

Best

Ioan

Your problem doesn't have anything to do with Lua escaping rules, but
with Pandoc conversion of strings to LaTeX. What you tell Pandoc to do
is to convert a string beginning with a backslash to LaTeX, so it uses
(rightly) \textbackslash. Instead, what you would like to pass is raw
LaTeX code: to that end, use pandoc.RawInline.
