No matter which CSL I use, Pandoc's citeproc forces the name of the author into the text.
Here's my Markdown:
---
bibliography: bib.json
csl: american-school-of-classical-studies-at-athens
...
Computers are complicated @verletComputerExperimentsClassical1967.
This should produce
Computers are complicated1
Instead, it produces
Computers are complicated Verlet1
If I use Harvard Cite Them Right it should produce
Computers are complicated (Verlet, 1967).
Instead, I get
Computers are complicated Verlet (1967).
How do I get citeproc to follow the specified CSL?
I'm running pandoc --citeproc test.md -o test.html to generate the output.
Version is pandoc 2.19.2, citeproc 0.8.0.1.
It works as expected if the citation in Markdown is wrapped with [ and ]
Computers are complicated [@verletComputerExperimentsClassical1967].
Is that meant to happen, or is it a bug?
This should be by design, citations without square brackets are called "in-text citations" in Quarto docs and "author-in-text citations" in Pandoc docs:
Citation Syntax
Quarto uses the standard Pandoc markdown representation for citations (e.g. [@citation]) — citations go inside square brackets and are separated by semicolons.
/../
You can also write in-text citations, as follows:
MD:@knuth1984 says blah.; Output: Knuth (1984) says blah.https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/footnotes-and-citations.html
Extension: citations
To cite a bibliographic item with an identifier foo, use the syntax @foo.
Normal citations should be included in square brackets, with semicolons separating distinct items /../
You can also write an author-in-text citation, by omitting the square brackets
