Re: .bib to .pdf (APA)

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

Pandoc doesn't convert .bib to anything.

However (assuming this is a bibtex or biblatex file), you could try
the following.  Create a markdown file bib.md with the following
contents:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
---
nocite: |
  @*
bibliography: 'yourbibfile.bib'
csl: 'apa.csl'
...

# Bibliography

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Make sure you have apa.csl in your working directory (you can get
it from the citeproc style repository).  Then, do this:

pandoc bib.md --filter pandoc-citeproc -o bib.pdf
