This question was originally on https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/688515/how-to-find-a-style-that-displays-an-unusual-text-field/688517?noredirect=1#comment1708279_688517, but since it involves Pandoc and not biblatex, I was advised to ask it here instead.

I have a biblatex file produced automatically by R that contains citations for R packages. This is part of a bookdown project, but to make it easily reproducible I extracted plain Markdown and have included that below.

This is one of the entries in the packages.bib file that was automatically produced:

@Manual{R-tables,
  title = {tables: Formula-Driven Table Generation},
  author = {Duncan Murdoch},
  note = {R package version 0.9.21},
  url = {https://dmurdoch.github.io/tables/},
  year = {2023},
}

I would like the reference list using this to include all of the fields, but so far all the CSL styles I've tried skip the note, so I get something like

Murdoch, Duncan. 2023. Tables: Formula-Driven Table Generation. https://dmurdoch.github.io/tables/.

when I would like it to look like

Murdoch, Duncan. 2023. Tables: Formula-Driven Table Generation. R package version 0.9.21. https://dmurdoch.github.io/tables/.

Can anyone suggest how to find CSL styles that display the note like that?

I've found a solution that's good enough as a workaround, but I'm still interested in the answer to my question above. The workaround is to change note to edition, and then the display looks okay to me. But how would I search for styles showing a particular field next time this comes up?

As I already mentioned, the original document was written in bookdown, but I've simplified it to plain Markdown. Put the text below into test.md:

---
bibliography: packages.bib
---

## The citation

This is a citation of the *tables* package [@R-tables].

## References

and the .bib entry above into packages.bib, then run

pandoc test.md --output test.html --citeproc

and you should get output that looks like this:

How would I find a CSL style that would display the note?

  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz: thanks! For others: that gives instructions for modifying a style to handle `note`. It's a better solution than my current workaround of changing `note` to `edition`, because some references might actually include both. – user2554330 Jun 14 '23 at 17:08
