Pandoc’s citation processing is designed to allow you to move between author-date, numerical, and note styles without modifying the markdown source. When you’re using a note style, avoid inserting footnotes manually. Instead, insert citations just as you would in an author-date style—for example,
Blah blah [@foo, p. 33].The footnote will be created automatically. Pandoc will take care of
removing the space and moving the note before or after the period,
depending on the setting of notes-after-punctuation, as
described below in Other
relevant metadata fields.
In some cases you may need to put a citation inside a regular
footnote. Normal citations in footnotes (such as
[@foo, p. 33]) will be rendered in parentheses. In-text
citations (such as @foo [p. 33]) will be rendered without
parentheses. (A comma will be added if appropriate.) Thus:
[^1]: Some studies [@foo; @bar, p. 33] show that
frubulicious zoosnaps are quantical. For a survey
of the literature, see @baz [chap. 1].
