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

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?

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.

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,
Denis
