The right field, but objectionable to the CSL folks: I ended up just getting the metadata I needed into pandoc-citeproc/CSL/etc. There are two related problems I was trying to solve (sorta solved): > solution that is fully compatible with it. > Regarding CMoS: Chicago is so utterly complex, I doubt there is any Hierarchical items allow for more clever behavior like that of biblatex-chicago, which can include a book in the bibliography if a certain number of chapters in it have been cited. I do see that volume-title made it into 1.0.2. I didn’t see it mentioned among the 1.0.2 and 1.1 GitHub issues. I was told that this would be solved by allowing bibliography items to be hierarchical, but I don’t think that feature ever appeared. They told me to use volume:page, which is fine in English, but I also write in another language in which I’ve never seen that notation.Ī less common need is for a volume title in addition to the main title. One thing was a Zotero problem more than a CSL problem: it wouldn’t let me use a volume and page for a locator. Knowing that your lua-mancite filter works, by running a shorthand filter in the right place I could get ibid. I could probably write a filter to do that, perhaps sticking the mapping from citation keys to abbreviations in the text’s YAML metadata. I wonder if it will still work when pandoc-citeproc is replaced by the new citeproc library.Īs for missing CSL features, classical citations are near the top of the list, and I’m glad to see they’ve been added to 1.0.2.Īnother BibLaTeX feature I use frequently is shorthands, where the first citation introduces an abbreviation, and subsequent citations use the abbreviation instead of the author/editor name and short title. I see it’s a bit tricky to use, but it works. Great, so I don't think this is a big loss. Those who need others will have to convert them using

That means we'll only supportīibtex/biblatex, pandoc yaml, and CSL JSON as bibliographyįormats. The new library is pure Haskell and won't depend on bibutils I'm not quite ready to release any of this code, but I hope Overhead of JSON serialization and deserialization. It will also be more performant, as we'll avoid the It will simplify things for users, who won't have to worry aboutįilters. This willĬut down the binaries we need to distribute from two to one, and I'm inclined, though, not to release this as a new filter,īut instead to depend on the citeproc library and build theĬitation processing capabilities into pandoc itself.
