Re: Pandoc doesn't define references in PDF output with --biblatex (or --natbib)

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

pandoc-citeproc wraps the whole bibliography in a Div
element with class "references."

This is currently just ignored by the LaTeX writer,
but you can use a lua filter to insert a custom
environment or some custom commands.

We might think about having the LaTeX writer do
something here by default.  But what?  The most
flexible thing would be inserting the whole thing
into a special environment, but then we'd need to
add something to the default template to make sure
this environment is defined.
