Note: This package is no longer maintained. Pandoc now uses the citeproc library, and no external filter is needed.

This package provides a library and executable to facilitate the use of citeproc with pandoc 1.12 and greater. (Earlier versions of pandoc have integrated citeproc support.)

The pandoc-citeproc executable can be used as a filter with pandoc to resolve and format citations using a bibliography file and a CSL stylesheet. It can also be used (with --bib2yaml or --bib2json options) to convert a bibliography to a YAML format that can be put directly into a pandoc markdown document or to CSL JSON. Bibliographies can be in any of several formats, but bibtex and biblatex are the best supported.

For usage and further details, see the pandoc-citeproc man page.

The current version of the package includes code from citeproc-hs, which has not been updated for some time. When citeproc-hs is brought up to date, this code can be removed and this package will depend on citeproc-hs.

Those who use pandoc as a library (e.g. in a web application) will need to use this module to process citations.

The module exports two functions, processCites, which is pure and accepts a style and a list of references as arguments, and processCites', which lives in the IO monad and derives the style and references from the document's metadata.
