4985−Unless a citation key start with a letter, digit, or `_`,
4986−and contains only alphanumerics and internal punctuation
4987−characters (`:.#$%&-+?<>~/`), it must be surrounded
4988−by curly braces, which are not considered part of the key.
4989−In `@Foo_bar.baz.`, the key is `Foo_bar.baz`. The final
4990−period is not *internal* punctuation, so it is not included in
4991−the key. In `@{Foo_bar.baz.}`, the key is `Foo_bar.baz.`, including
4992−the final period. The curly braces are recommended if you use URLs as
4993−keys: `[@{https://example.com/bib?name=foobar&date=2000}, p. 33]`.
4995−Citation items may optionally include a prefix, a locator, and
4998− Blah blah [see @doe99, pp. 33-35 and *passim*; @smith04, chap. 1].
5000−The first item (`doe99`) has prefix `see `, locator `pp. 33-35`,
5001−and suffix `and *passim*`. The second item (`smith04`) has
5002−locator `chap. 1` and no prefix or suffix.
5004−Pandoc uses some heuristics to separate the locator from the
5005−rest of the subject. It is sensitive to the locator terms
5006−defined in the [CSL locale files]. Either abbreviated or
5007−unabbreviated forms are accepted. In the `en-US` locale, locator
5008−terms can be written in either singular or plural forms, as
5009−`book`, `bk.`/`bks.`; `chapter`, `chap.`/`chaps.`; `column`,
5010−`col.`/`cols.`; `figure`, `fig.`/`figs.`; `folio`,

5015−`v.`/`vv.`; `volume`, `vol.`/`vols.`; `¶`/`¶¶`; `§`/`§§`. If no
5016−locator term is used, "page" is assumed.
5018−In complex cases, you can force something to be treated as
5019−a locator by enclosing it in curly braces or prevent parsing
5020−the suffix as locator by prepending curly braces:
5022− [@smith{ii, A, D-Z}, with a suffix]
5023− [@smith, {pp. iv, vi-xi, (xv)-(xvii)} with suffix here]
5024− [@smith{}, 99 years later]
5026−A minus sign (`-`) before the `@` will suppress mention of
5027−the author in the citation. This can be useful when the
5028−author is already mentioned in the text:
5030− Smith says blah [-@smith04].
5032−You can also write an author-in-text citation, by omitting the
5035− @smith04 says blah.
5037− @smith04 [p. 33] says blah.
5039−This will cause the author's name to be rendered, followed by
5040−the bibliographical details. Use this form when you want to
5041−make the citation the subject of a sentence.
5043−When you are using a note style, it is usually better to let
5044−citeproc create the footnotes from citations rather than writing
5045−an explicit note. If you do write an explicit note that
5046−contains a citation, note that normal citations will be put in
5047−parentheses, while author-in-text citations will not. For
5048−this reason, it is sometimes preferable to use the
5049−author-in-text style inside notes when using a note style.

5060−## Non-default extensions
5062−The following Markdown syntax extensions are not enabled by default
5063−in pandoc, but may be enabled by adding `+EXTENSION` to the format
5064−name, where `EXTENSION` is the name of the extension. Thus, for
5065−example, `markdown+hard_line_breaks` is Markdown with hard line breaks.
5067−#### Extension: `rebase_relative_paths` ####
5069−Rewrite relative paths for Markdown links and images, depending
5070−on the path of the file containing the link or image link. For
5071−each link or image, pandoc will compute the directory of the
5072−containing file, relative to the working directory, and prepend
5073−the resulting path to the link or image path.
5075−The use of this extension is best understood by example.
5076−Suppose you have a a subdirectory for each chapter of a book,
5077−`chap1`, `chap2`, `chap3`. Each contains a file `text.md` and a
5078−number of images used in the chapter. You would like to have
5079−`` in `chap1/text.md` refer to
5080−`chap1/spider.jpg` and `` in `chap2/text.md`
5081−refer to `chap2/spider.jpg`. To do this, use
5083− pandoc chap*/*.md -f markdown+rebase_relative_paths
5085−Without this extension, you would have to use
5086−`` in `chap1/text.md` and
5087−`` in `chap2/text.md`. Links with
5088−relative paths will be rewritten in the same way as images.
5090−Absolute paths and URLs are not changed. Neither are empty
5091−paths or paths consisting entirely of a fragment, e.g., `#foo`.
5093−Note that relative paths in reference links and images will
5094−be rewritten relative to the file containing the link
5095−reference definition, not the file containing the reference link
5096−or image itself, if these differ.
5098−#### Extension: `attributes` ####
5100−Allows attributes to be attached to any inline or block-level
5101−element. The syntax for the attributes is the same as that
5102−used in [`header_attributes`][Extension: `header_attributes`].
5104−- Attributes that occur immediately after an inline
5105− element affect that element. If they follow a space, then they
5106− belong to the space. (Hence, this option subsumes
5107− `inline_code_attributes` and `link_attributes`.)
5108−- Attributes that occur immediately before a block
5109− element, on a line by themselves, affect that
5111−- Consecutive attribute specifiers may be used,
5112− either for blocks or for inlines. Their attributes
5114−- Attributes that occur at the end of the text of
5115− a Setext or ATX heading (separated by whitespace
5116− from the text) affect the heading element. (Hence, this
5117− option subsumes `header_attributes`.)
5118−- Attributes that occur after the opening fence
5119− in a fenced code block affect the code block element. (Hence,
5120− this option subsumes `fenced_code_attributes`.)
5121−- Attributes that occur at the end of a reference
5122− link definition affect links that refer to that
5125−Note that pandoc's AST does not currently allow attributes
5126−to be attached to arbitrary elements. Hence a Span or Div
5127−container will be added if needed.
5129−#### Extension: `old_dashes` ####
5131−Selects the pandoc <= 1.8.2.1 behavior for parsing smart dashes:
5132−`-` before a numeral is an en-dash, and `--` is an em-dash.
5133−This option only has an effect if `smart` is enabled. It is
5134−selected automatically for `textile` input.
5136−#### Extension: `angle_brackets_escapable` ####
5138−Allow `<` and `>` to be backslash-escaped, as they can be in
5139−GitHub flavored Markdown but not original Markdown. This is
5140−implied by pandoc's default `all_symbols_escapable`.
5142−#### Extension: `lists_without_preceding_blankline` ####
5144−Allow a list to occur right after a paragraph, with no intervening
5147−#### Extension: `four_space_rule` ####
5149−Selects the pandoc <= 2.0 behavior for parsing lists, so that
5150−four spaces indent are needed for list item continuation
5153−#### Extension: `spaced_reference_links` ####
5155−Allow whitespace between the two components of a reference link,
5160−#### Extension: `hard_line_breaks` ####
5162−Causes all newlines within a paragraph to be interpreted as hard line
5163−breaks instead of spaces.
5165−#### Extension: `ignore_line_breaks` ####
5167−Causes newlines within a paragraph to be ignored, rather than being
5168−treated as spaces or as hard line breaks. This option is intended for
5169−use with East Asian languages where spaces are not used between words,
5170−but text is divided into lines for readability.
5172−#### Extension: `east_asian_line_breaks` ####
5174−Causes newlines within a paragraph to be ignored, rather than
5175−being treated as spaces or as hard line breaks, when they occur
5176−between two East Asian wide characters. This is a better choice
5177−than `ignore_line_breaks` for texts that include a mix of East
5178−Asian wide characters and other characters.
5180−#### Extension: `emoji` ####
5182−Parses textual emojis like `:smile:` as Unicode emoticons.
5184−#### Extension: `tex_math_single_backslash` ####
5186−Causes anything between `\(` and `\)` to be interpreted as inline
5187−TeX math, and anything between `\[` and `\]` to be interpreted
5188−as display TeX math. Note: a drawback of this extension is that
5189−it precludes escaping `(` and `[`.
5191−#### Extension: `tex_math_double_backslash` ####
5193−Causes anything between `\\(` and `\\)` to be interpreted as inline
5194−TeX math, and anything between `\\[` and `\\]` to be interpreted
5195−as display TeX math.
5197−#### Extension: `markdown_attribute` ####
5199−By default, pandoc interprets material inside block-level tags as Markdown.
5200−This extension changes the behavior so that Markdown is only parsed
5201−inside block-level tags if the tags have the attribute `markdown=1`.
5203−#### Extension: `mmd_title_block` ####
5205−Enables a [MultiMarkdown] style title block at the top of
5206−the document, for example:
5210− Date: September 1, 2008
5211− Comment: This is a sample mmd title block, with
5212− a field spanning multiple lines.
5214−See the MultiMarkdown documentation for details. If `pandoc_title_block` or
5215−`yaml_metadata_block` is enabled, it will take precedence over
5218−#### Extension: `abbreviations` ####
5220−Parses PHP Markdown Extra abbreviation keys, like
5222− *[HTML]: Hypertext Markup Language
5224−Note that the pandoc document model does not support
5225−abbreviations, so if this extension is enabled, abbreviation keys are
5226−simply skipped (as opposed to being parsed as paragraphs).
5228−#### Extension: `autolink_bare_uris` ####
5230−Makes all absolute URIs into links, even when not surrounded by
5231−pointy braces `<...>`.
5233−#### Extension: `mmd_link_attributes` ####
5235−Parses multimarkdown style key-value attributes on link
5236−and image references. This extension should not be confused with the
5237−[`link_attributes`](#extension-link_attributes) extension.
5239− This is a reference ![image][ref] with multimarkdown attributes.
5241− [ref]: https://path.to/image "Image title" width=20px height=30px
5242− id=myId class="myClass1 myClass2"
5244−#### Extension: `mmd_header_identifiers` ####
5246−Parses multimarkdown style heading identifiers (in square brackets,
5247−after the heading but before any trailing `#`s in an ATX heading).
5249−#### Extension: `compact_definition_lists` ####
5251−Activates the definition list syntax of pandoc 1.12.x and earlier.
5252−This syntax differs from the one described above under [Definition lists]
5253−in several respects:
5255− - No blank line is required between consecutive items of the
5257− - To get a "tight" or "compact" list, omit space between consecutive
5258− items; the space between a term and its definition does not affect
5260− - Lazy wrapping of paragraphs is not allowed: the entire definition must
5261− be indented four spaces.[^6]
5263−[^6]: To see why laziness is incompatible with relaxing the requirement
5264− of a blank line between items, consider the following example:
5271− Is this a single list item with two definitions of "bar," the first of
5272− which is lazily wrapped, or two list items? To remove the ambiguity
5273− we must either disallow lazy wrapping or require a blank line between
5276−#### Extension: `gutenberg` ####
5278−Use [Project Gutenberg] conventions for `plain` output:
5279−all-caps for strong emphasis, surround by underscores
5280−for regular emphasis, add extra blank space around headings.
5282− [Project Gutenberg]: https://www.gutenberg.org
5284−#### Extension: `sourcepos` ####
5286−Include source position attributes when parsing `commonmark`.
5287−For elements that accept attributes, a `data-pos` attribute
5288−is added; other elements are placed in a surrounding
5289−Div or Span elemnet with a `data-pos` attribute.
5291−## Markdown variants
5293−In addition to pandoc's extended Markdown, the following Markdown
5294−variants are supported:
5296−- `markdown_phpextra` (PHP Markdown Extra)
5297−- `markdown_github` (deprecated GitHub-Flavored Markdown)
5298−- `markdown_mmd` (MultiMarkdown)
5299−- `markdown_strict` (Markdown.pl)
5300−- `commonmark` (CommonMark)
5301−- `gfm` (Github-Flavored Markdown)
5302−- `commonmark_x` (CommonMark with many pandoc extensions)
5304−To see which extensions are supported for a given format,
5305−and which are enabled by default, you can use the command
5307− pandoc --list-extensions=FORMAT
5309−where `FORMAT` is replaced with the name of the format.
5311−Note that the list of extensions for `commonmark`,
5312−`gfm`, and `commonmark_x` are defined relative to default
5313−commonmark. So, for example, `backtick_code_blocks`
5314−does not appear as an extension, since it is enabled by
5315−default and cannot be disabled.

3856+
3857+Citations and references can be formatted using any style supported by the
3858+[Citation Style Language], listed in the [Zotero Style Repository].
3859+These files are specified using the `--csl` option or the `csl` metadata field.
3860+By default, `pandoc-citeproc` will use the [Chicago Manual of Style] author-date
3861+format. The CSL project provides further information on [finding and editing styles].
3863+To make your citations hyperlinks to the corresponding bibliography
3864+entries, add `link-citations: true` to your YAML metadata.
3866+Citations go inside square brackets and are separated by semicolons.
3867+Each citation must have a key, composed of '@' + the citation
3868+identifier from the database, and may optionally have a prefix,
3869+a locator, and a suffix. The citation key must begin with a letter, digit,
3870+or `_`, and may contain alphanumerics, `_`, and internal punctuation
3871+characters (`:.#$%&-+?<>~/`). Here are some examples:
3873+ Blah blah [see @doe99, pp. 33-35; also @smith04, chap. 1].
3875+ Blah blah [@doe99, pp. 33-35, 38-39 and *passim*].
3877+ Blah blah [@smith04; @doe99].
3879+`pandoc-citeproc` detects locator terms in the [CSL locale files].
3880+Either abbreviated or unabbreviated forms are accepted. In the `en-US`
3881+locale, locator terms can be written in either singular or plural forms,
3882+as `book`, `bk.`/`bks.`; `chapter`, `chap.`/`chaps.`; `column`,
3883+`col.`/`cols.`; `figure`, `fig.`/`figs.`; `folio`, `fol.`/`fols.`;

3887+`verse`, `v.`/`vv.`; `volume`, `vol.`/`vols.`; `¶`/`¶¶`; `§`/`§§`. If no
3888+locator term is used, "page" is assumed.
3890+A minus sign (`-`) before the `@` will suppress mention of
3891+the author in the citation. This can be useful when the
3892+author is already mentioned in the text:
3894+ Smith says blah [-@smith04].
3896+You can also write an in-text citation, as follows:
3898+ @smith04 says blah.
3900+ @smith04 [p. 33] says blah.
3902+If the style calls for a list of works cited, it will be placed

6341−# Custom Styles
4597+Custom Styles in Docx
6342−
4598+=====================
6343−Custom styles can be used in the docx and ICML formats.
6347−By default, pandoc's docx and ICML output applies a predefined set of styles
6348−for blocks such as paragraphs and block quotes, and uses largely default
6349−formatting (italics, bold) for inlines. This will work for most
6350−purposes, especially alongside a `reference.docx` file. However, if you
6351−need to apply your own styles to blocks, or match a preexisting set of
6352−styles, pandoc allows you to define custom styles for blocks and text
6353−using `div`s and `span`s, respectively.
6355−If you define a `div` or `span` with the attribute `custom-style`,
6356−pandoc will apply your specified style to the contained elements (with
6357−the exception of elements whose function depends on a style, like
6358−headings, code blocks, block quotes, or links). So, for example, using
6359−the `bracketed_spans` syntax,
6361− [Get out]{custom-style="Emphatically"}, he said.
6363−would produce a docx file with "Get out" styled with character
6364−style `Emphatically`. Similarly, using the `fenced_divs` syntax,
6366− Dickinson starts the poem simply:
6368− ::: {custom-style="Poetry"}
6369− | A Bird came down the Walk---
6370− | He did not know I saw---
6373−would style the two contained lines with the `Poetry` paragraph style.
6375−For docx output, styles will be defined in the output file as inheriting
6376−from normal text, if the styles are not yet in your reference.docx.
6377−If they are already defined, pandoc will not alter the definition.
6379−This feature allows for greatest customization in conjunction with
6380−[pandoc filters]. If you want all paragraphs after block quotes to be
6381−indented, you can write a filter to apply the styles necessary. If you
6382−want all italics to be transformed to the `Emphasis` character style
6383−(perhaps to change their color), you can write a filter which will
6384−transform all italicized inlines to inlines within an `Emphasis`

4646same styles in your input and output files.
4651+By default, pandoc's docx output applies a predefined set of styles for
4652+blocks such as paragraphs and block quotes, and uses largely default
4653+formatting (italics, bold) for inlines. This will work for most
4654+purposes, especially alongside a `reference.docx` file. However, if you
4655+need to apply your own styles to blocks, or match a preexisting set of
4656+styles, pandoc allows you to define custom styles for blocks and text
4657+using `div`s and `span`s, respectively.
4659+If you define a `div` or `span` with the attribute `custom-style`,
4660+pandoc will apply your specified style to the contained elements. So,
4661+for example using the `bracketed_spans` syntax,
4663+ [Get out]{custom-style="Emphatically"}, he said.
4665+would produce a docx file with "Get out" styled with character

4671+ | A Bird came down the Walk---
4672+ | He did not know I saw---
4675+would style the two contained lines with the `Poetry` paragraph style.
4677+If the styles are not yet in your reference.docx, they will be defined
4678+in the output file as inheriting from normal text. If they are already
4679+defined, pandoc will not alter the definition.
4681+This feature allows for greatest customization in conjunction with
4682+[pandoc filters]. If you want all paragraphs after block quotes to be
4683+indented, you can write a filter to apply the styles necessary. If you
4684+want all italics to be transformed to the `Emphasis` character style
4685+(perhaps to change their color), you can write a filter which will
4686+transform all italicized inlines to inlines within an `Emphasis`
4687+custom-style `span`.

6464−# Reproducible builds
6466−Some of the document formats pandoc targets (such as EPUB,
6467−docx, and ODT) include build timestamps in the generated document.
6468−That means that the files generated on successive builds will
6469−differ, even if the source does not. To avoid this, set the

6479−# A note on security
6481−If you use pandoc to convert user-contributed content in a web
6482−application, here are some things to keep in mind:
6484−1. Although pandoc itself will not create or modify any files other
6485− than those you explicitly ask it create (with the exception
6486− of temporary files used in producing PDFs), a filter or custom
6487− writer could in principle do anything on your file system. Please
6488− audit filters and custom writers very carefully before using them.
6490−2. If your application uses pandoc as a Haskell library (rather than
6491− shelling out to the executable), it is possible to use it in a mode
6492− that fully isolates pandoc from your file system, by running the
6493− pandoc operations in the `PandocPure` monad. See the document
6494− [Using the pandoc API](https://pandoc.org/using-the-pandoc-api.html)
6497−3. Pandoc's parsers can exhibit pathological performance on some
6498− corner cases. It is wise to put any pandoc operations under
6499− a timeout, to avoid DOS attacks that exploit these issues.
6500− If you are using the pandoc executable, you can add the
6501− command line options `+RTS -M512M -RTS` (for example) to limit
6502− the heap size to 512MB.
