Citations not working

[donlelek]

Hi,
thanks for your extension, I use it every day now.
But, when I try to add references it just doesn't work.

I've modified the "Pandoc.sublime-settings" as follows (top level "default")

      "Microsoft Word": {
        "scope": {
          "text.html": "html",
          "text.html.markdown": "markdown"
        },
        "pandoc-arguments": [
          "-t", "docx", "--mathjax", "--filter", "pandoc-citeproc"
          // also tried  "--filter pandoc-citeproc"
        ]
      }

this results in the error: pandoc: Filter pandoc-citeproc not found

same error if I add it to the PDF settings.

If i do it from the terminal using pandoc -o doc.docx doc.md --filter pandoc-citeproc --mathjax it works.
What am I doing wrong?

Help please

Hi @tbfisher, I tried "--filter", "/usr/local/bin/pandoc-citeproc" which seems to find the filter but now I get another error: pandoc-citeproc: Could not find bibliography.bibtex, even if I add the full path to the bibliography in the YAML header.

Hi @tbfisher , I found a couple ways to make it work. If you add the line "--filter", "/usr/local/bin/pandoc-citeproc" pandoc-citeproc works but it can't find the bibtex source file, a workaround is to include the references within the document using citeproc YAML headers, i.e.:

---
references:
- title: One-click science marketing

  URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nmat3283

This has some advantages if you are collaborating with someone and want to share the bibliography sources.

Another way, if you have only one bibtex file for all your references, is to reference that file by adding the line --bibliography=/path/to/your/bibliography.bib.

Note that for both options you don't have to specify your bib file within the document.
Sorry for bothering you but I think that this is a great extension and I could not figure out how to make it work.
Feature request: find a way to make this work just by adding your bib file in the YAML header.

@donlelek
Sorry to resurrect old threat, but can you explain for n00b how you produce citations, I try with user settings but haven't success.

Hey @abunavas, I'm sorry, but I no longer use this extension. I mostly use R so I am using Rstudio and RMarkdown.
Check this out if you are interested.
