References not formatted properly (and text in italics) on the Tufte Rmd template out-of-the-box

[xalario]

Hello

Thanks a lot for this beautiful package!

I have started using the package recently, tinkering with the Tufter Rmd template to learn by doing.

I have trouble getting the references right.

With the same Rmd code, out of the box:

1. on HTML, from the reference ownards the text appears in italics, and the reference on the margin is not complete

2. Separating the reference on a separate line solves the italics issue but the reference disappears:

3. on PDF, the text is (rightly) not in italics but the references appear at the end, not in the margin:

I have read the instructuion about pandoc-citeproc. My installation does not have pandoc-citeproc but I don't know how to proceed because pandoc-citeproc is deprecated in favor of citeproc.

I have updated everything I can think of, and I tinkered around with the Rmd text and the reference list, without a solution. I don't feel confident enough to try the development version.

I filing this as "bug" because I get the result out of the box. Apologies if this is obvious, I do not know much about pandoc filters.

Thank you in advance & kind regards

Xavier

Ok, after finding this earlier commit related to this very issue, I downloaded the development version (moving from 0.12 to 0.12.4).

The side notes and references now work as expected.

Sorry about the clutter.
