I am using Pandoc to integrate Scrivener with Zotero. I write in Scrivener adding the Zotero citation keys, compile a .txt file, then use Pandoc to convert the .txt file into a Word file in which the citation keys are effectively translated in my preferred citation style (APA in this case). Following the instructions on
this webpage, I also set up "Marked 2" to show the output of what I was writing in Scrivener using markdown.
Here comes the problem: newlines.
If I write in Scrivener:
I want a newline after this.
This should be a newline.
then Marked 2 is showing:
I want a newline after this. This should be a newline.
So then I wrote in Scrivener:
I want a newline after this.<br>
This should be a newline.
Marked 2:
I want a newline after this.
This should be a newline.
Great! Now I compile into a .txt file and I get:
I want a newline after this.<br>
This should be a newline.
OK, now it is time to use Pandoc.
I type the following command into the terminal:
pandoc -s -S --normalize --bibliography
~/Dropbox/_Research/Master_Thesis/Master.bib --csl
~/Dropbox/_Research/apa.csl
-f markdown -t docx -o trial.docx /Users/S/Desktop/test_st.txt
I get my .docx file (and when I do this with a full document, all my citations are there, so that works!), but then I read:
I want a newline after this. This should be a newline.
Note that the <br> that was present in the .txt file is gone, but still I did not get a newline.
