[Tex/LaTex] How to convert LaTex to word using PanDoc and keep citations as numeral

bibliographiescitingpandoc

I use Pandoc to convert a tex file to docx. I used the following command

pandoc -s foo.tex --bibliography=foo.bib -o foo.docx

But in the output word document, citation are in format of (author date), while I want just a number like [1].

The solution is to use a CSL file to format the citations. I used ieee.csl from https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles

pandoc -s foo.tex --bibliography=foo.bib --csl=ieee.csl -o foo.docx

You have told your editor that the file is stored as latin1 encoding

% !TeX encoding   = ISO-8859-1

But pandoc thinks it is reading a UTF-8 encoded file so can not decode it. These encodings are the same for ascii letters but differ for anything else.

Pandoc may have an option to tell it the file encoding or if not, you should get your editor to save the file as utf-8.

The --biblatex option only applies when the output document is LaTeX format. When I tried pandoc --bibliography=foo.bib -o foo.docx foo.tex it worked for me. If you want Chicago you need to add an option for that e.g. --csl=chicago-author-date.csl. You can get the CSL file from github.com/citation-style-language/styles.
