Escape sequence in LUA filters, problems multiple citations conversion of docx to Latex

Escape sequence in LUA filters, problems multiple citations conversion of docx to Latex

[Ioan Muntean]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1927 bytes --]

Hello all,

I have some troubles with escaping sequence in a Lua filter. I am using the 
function Str() and I simply want to generate the text "\cite" in a Latex 
output . 
This is the function:
return pandoc.Str([[\cite{]]..latex_citekey.."}")

The output is: \textbackslash cite\{
How do I escape the converter if I want to get an output like "\cite"? I 
think it has something to do with inline characters, but I do not know how 
to use them.

Here is the bigger picture: 

I am trying to convert with Pandoc DOCX files to Latex. I use Zotero 
references and a Better than Bibtex style in docx to create references for 
pandoc.
The --citedoc --natlib --bibliography=<.bib file> options works with single 
reference in DOCX 
The entry: [@parker2009computinguncomputablediscrete]
is converted to \cite{parker2009computinguncomputablediscrete}

[@cartwright2006wellorderedscience; @cichy2019deepneuralnetworks; 
@parker2009computinguncomputablediscrete]

is not converted but kept exactly like that in the Latex file. But the Docx 
conversion does not work for multiple references or for prefixes or 
suffixes of citations. But the same pandoc command for a markdown input 
works fine. I suspect there is some difference on how the docx and markdown 
converter works.


I am currently almost done with writing a Lua filter and the intention is 
to generate the correct output

\cite{cartwright2006wellorderedscience, cichy2019deepneuralnetworks, 
parker2009computinguncomputablediscrete}

Thanks in advance!

Ioan

Re: Escape sequence in LUA filters, problems multiple citations conversion of docx to Latex

[Bastien DUMONT]

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.

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

Hi Ioan, I'm currently trying to do exactly the same thing: docx to tex 
with BBT references (I'm using their CSL script 
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/01baftb/dc769574b29891263588a89c62bc2476/raw/67035b0efef81c8633d99e0ddbf4f493c5f79af6/better-bibtex-citekeys-modded-to-use-cite-latex-command.csl). 
However, I'm failing with the Pandoc conversion steps since it also 
converts raw latex. Would you be willing to post your filter and Pandoc 
command? That would be immensely helpful! 
Best, Sandra

Hi Sandra
Thanks for the question. I do have a workable code I adapted to my needs 
and I will post it here. I plan to comment it heavily such that it can be 
used for different purposes.
Thansk for your patience.
I can send also a number of samples. My code converts everything into latex 
not tex.
Ioan
