Trying to create an output that would allow the URL part of a citation to appear as clickable rich text link to source file.

So far I have tried to create a custom CSL file that would output as (TITLE, DATE) ([SOURCE LINK](URL)) so that when I run it through pandoc it would turn into a rich text link when converted to DOCX, HTML, PDF, etc.

However, when I run the following command it populates it as escaped markdown that would not result as a rich link but just the raw text.

pandoc input.md -o output.md --citeproc --csl chicago-custom.csl --bibliography references.bib

I also tried to output as html but it creates the link for the URL, but not the "SOURCE LINK" part and looks like this: /[SOURCE LINK]/(URL) for markdown or <a href="URL">URL</a> with html output

Is there a different approach than custom CSL to do this?

  • How close to your desired output is the result of calling pandoc with the original CSL and `-M reference-links`? – tarleb Aug 28 '22 at 10:05
  • Unfortunately that doesn't get me closer. I am wanting the citation to appear as an inline rich link to the source URL – notthatdrake Aug 29 '22 at 18:19
