From tex to docx using pandoc. Bibliography issue

TeX - LaTeX Asked on May 18, 2021

I am trying to convert a tex file to docx using pandoc. The tex file contains a bibliography, which is in an external file, named mybib.bib, but located in the same folder of the main document. The package pandoc-citeproc has been installed with pandoc. I type in the cmd terminal:

pandoc -s main.tex bibliography=mybib.bib -o main.docx

However, the bibliography is not converted in the docx file. Do you have an idea why this happens?

Thanks in advance

You also need to tell pandoc to use pandoc-citeproc. For recent versions (>= 2.11) of pandoc you need to use the option --citeproc:

pandoc -s main.tex --citeproc --bibliography=mybib.bib -o main.docx    

Elder versions use pandoc-citeproc as a filter:

pandoc -s main.tex --filter=pandoc-citeproc --bibliography=mybib.bib -o main.docx  

This is documented in pandoc's manual
