1778−or tabs, which will be ignored. The closing delimiter may

1867−matched delimiters) and ends with `endfor` (enclosed in matched
1868−delimiters.
1402+ For bidirectional documents, native pandoc `span`s and `div`s
1403+ with the `dir` attribute (value `rtl` or `ltr`) can be used to
1404+ override the base direction in some output formats.
1405+ This may not always be necessary if the final renderer
1406+ (e.g. the browser, when generating HTML) supports the
1407+ [Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm].

1870−- If `variable` is an array, the material inside the loop will
1871− be evaluated repeatedly, with `variable` being set to each
1872− value of the array in turn, and concatenated.
1873−- If `variable` is a map, the material inside will be set to
1874− the map.
1875−- If the value of the associated variable is not an array or
1876− a map, a single iteration will be performed on its value.
1409+ When using LaTeX for bidirectional documents, only the `xelatex` engine

5252−This syntax differs from the one described above under [Definition lists]
5253−in several respects:
5254−
5255− - No blank line is required between consecutive items of the

5257− - To get a "tight" or "compact" list, omit space between consecutive

5259− anything.
5260− - Lazy wrapping of paragraphs is not allowed: the entire definition must
5261− be indented four spaces.[^6]
5262−
5263−[^6]: To see why laziness is incompatible with relaxing the requirement
5264− of a blank line between items, consider the following example:

5269− : definition
5270−
5271− Is this a single list item with two definitions of "bar," the first of

3893+(`pandoc-citeproc --bib2yaml` can produce these from a bibliography file in one
3894+of the supported formats.)
3895+
3896+Citations and references can be formatted using any style supported by the
3897+[Citation Style Language], listed in the [Zotero Style Repository].
3898+These files are specified using the `--csl` option or the `csl` metadata field.
3899+By default, `pandoc-citeproc` will use the [Chicago Manual of Style] author-date
3900+format. The CSL project provides further information on [finding and editing styles].
3901+
3902+To make your citations hyperlinks to the corresponding bibliography
3903+entries, add `link-citations: true` to your YAML metadata.
3904+
3905+Citations go inside square brackets and are separated by semicolons.
3906+Each citation must have a key, composed of '@' + the citation
3907+identifier from the database, and may optionally have a prefix,
3908+a locator, and a suffix. The citation key must begin with a letter, digit,
3909+or `_`, and may contain alphanumerics, `_`, and internal punctuation
3910+characters (`:.#$%&-+?<>~/`). Here are some examples:
3911+
3912+ Blah blah [see @doe99, pp. 33-35; also @smith04, chap. 1].
3913+
3914+ Blah blah [@doe99, pp. 33-35, 38-39 and *passim*].
3915+
3916+ Blah blah [@smith04; @doe99].
3917+
3918+`pandoc-citeproc` detects locator terms in the [CSL locale files].
3919+Either abbreviated or unabbreviated forms are accepted. In the `en-US`
3920+locale, locator terms can be written in either singular or plural forms,
3921+as `book`, `bk.`/`bks.`; `chapter`, `chap.`/`chaps.`; `column`,
3922+`col.`/`cols.`; `figure`, `fig.`/`figs.`; `folio`, `fol.`/`fols.`;
3923+`number`, `no.`/`nos.`; `line`, `l.`/`ll.`; `note`, `n.`/`nn.`; `opus`,
3924+`op.`/`opp.`; `page`, `p.`/`pp.`; `paragraph`, `para.`/`paras.`; `part`,
3925+`pt.`/`pts.`; `section`, `sec.`/`secs.`; `sub verbo`, `s.v.`/`s.vv.`;
3926+`verse`, `v.`/`vv.`; `volume`, `vol.`/`vols.`; `¶`/`¶¶`; `§`/`§§`. If no
3927+locator term is used, "page" is assumed.
3928+
3929+A minus sign (`-`) before the `@` will suppress mention of
3930+the author in the citation. This can be useful when the
3931+author is already mentioned in the text:
3932+
3933+ Smith says blah [-@smith04].
3934+
3935+You can also write an in-text citation, as follows:
3936+
3937+ @smith04 says blah.
3938+
3939+ @smith04 [p. 33] says blah.
3940+
3941+If the style calls for a list of works cited, it will be placed
3942+at the end of the document. Normally, you will want to end your
3943+document with an appropriate header:
3944+
3945+ last paragraph...

5409−Note that `pandoc` can be used to produce such a YAML metadata
5410−section from a BibTeX, BibLaTeX, or CSL JSON bibliography:
3949+The bibliography will be inserted after this header. Note that

6487− writer could in principle do anything on your file system. Please
6488− audit filters and custom writers very carefully before using them.
6489−
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)
6495− for more details.
6496−
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.
6503−
6504−4. The HTML generated by pandoc is not guaranteed to be safe.
6505− If `raw_html` is enabled for the Markdown input, users can
6506− inject arbitrary HTML. Even if `raw_html` is disabled,
6507− users can include dangerous content in URLs and attributes.
