I am having to work with word users who don't use bibtex. However I am trying to create a workflow where those users simply input [@citation] directly in the word doc. Then I use pandoc to convert that word doc back to markdown so I can more readily use bibtex. So here is what is in the word doc (foo.docx):
Sentence with a citation [@foo]
Then I run this pandoc code:
pandoc -s foo.docx -t markdown -o foo.md
Then resulting markdown is:
Sentence with a citation \[\@foo\]
Because of these escaped characters, I can't actually generate the citations. Happy to entertain other ideas to make this work but merging markdown and office users seems to be always a bit friction-y. The ultimately question is how to maintain citation from word to markdown?
