If you want to include items in the bibliography without actually
citing them in the body text, you can define a dummy nocite
metadata field and put the citations there:
---
nocite: |
@item1, @item2
...
@item3
In this example, the document will contain a citation for
item3
only, but the bibliography will contain entries for
item1
, item2
, and item3
.
It is possible to create a bibliography with all the citations, whether or not they appear in the document, by using a wildcard:
---
nocite: |
@*
...
For LaTeX output, you can also use natbib
or biblatex
to render
the bibliography. In order to do so, specify bibliography files as
outlined above, and add --natbib
or --biblatex
argument to pandoc invocation. Bear in mind that bibliography files have
to be in either BibTeX (for --natbib
) or BibLaTeX (for
--biblatex
) format.
