If you want to use citations, you also have to define the CSL-style (Citation Style Language) to be used, via a *.csl-file you have to reference.
Here is an MWE in Markdown. It tests a few different methods to provide references to citations in Markdown:
# Markdown source code for relevant part of this page
``` {.markdown}
i. [@nonexistent]
i. @nonexistent
i. @z1 says fooo.
i. @z1 [p. 30] says baaar.
i. @z1 [p. 30, with suffix] says blahblah.
i. @z1 [-@z2 p. 30; see also @z3] says blah-blubb.
i. In a footnote.[^1]
i. A citation group [see @z1 p. 34-35; also @z3 chap. 3].
i. Another one [see @z1 p. 34-35].
i. And still another, in a footnote.[^2]
i. Quote with a *suffix* and a *locator* [@z1 pp. 33, 35-37, and nothing else].
i. Quote with only one locator [@z1 and nowhere else].
i. Now a few *modifiers*[^3]...
i. With some extra Markup [*siehe* @z1 p. **32**].
i. Jane Doz doesnt like me [***siehe*** **@z4**].
[^1]: A citation without locators [@z3].
[^2]: Multiple citations [siehe @z2 chap. 3; @z3; @z1].
[^3]: ...like a quote without author: [-@z1]. And now OStR Oster with a locator [-@z2 p. 44].
$x^2 + y^2 = 1$ @z1
```

# Bibliography
You convert this Markdown with f.e. the following Pandoc command:
pandoc -V geometry="paperwidth=18cm, paperheight=34cm, margin=0.3cm" \
-V language=de-DE -V lang=ngerman \
--highlight-style=espresso --filter=pandoc-citeproc \
--biblio=my-biblio.bib --csl=stuttgart-media-university.csl \
-o stuttgart-media-university---csl.pdf mwe.md
As you can see from the command, it references three files:
- The Markdown source,
mwe.md.
- An additional file defining the CSL-style to be used,
stuttgart-media-university.csl. (I downloaded it from the core repository, of citationstyles.org on GitHub.)
The third one, my-biblio.bib, which holds my citation references. Its content is here:
@Book{z1,
author="Thales von Milet",
title="Doppelwinkel-Funktionen",
url="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formelsammlung_Trigonometrie#Doppelwinkelfunktionen",
year="600 v.Chr.",
address="Milet, Kleinasien",
publisher="Wikipedia"
}
@Article{z2,
author="OStR Dr. math.nat. Oster",
title="Unterrichtsmaterialen für Klasse 9 (Mittelstufe)",
year="1969",
journal="Journal of Generic Studies",
volume="9",
pages="33-34"
}
@InCollection{z3,
author="Elvis Presley, Madonna and Pink Floyd",
title="Kombinatorik Hypergeometrischer Verteilungen",
booktitle="Wiederholungslose Auswahlprobleme",
editor="Cleopatra, Königin von Ägypten",
publisher="Steintafeln Moses GmbH & Co. KG",
address="Gizeh",
year="30 v.Chr."
}
@Article{z4,
author="Jane Doz",
title="Why All Men Suck",
year="2006",
journal="Journal of Gender Studies",
volume="6",
pages="33-34"
}
Here is a screenshot of the resulting PDF page:
Looking closely at that page, you can see how exactly each occurrence of Markdown source citational references translate into the final page layout.
Be aware, that the final page layout is heavily influenced by the specific CSL style file you use! Apply a different CSL, and the page content will look different (specifically: the spots with the references, the footnotes and the "Bibliography" section are all influenced by the CSL).
My recently created GitHub repo for testing CSL style files contains even more detailed instructions about this topic.
There is no built-in feature in pandoc that compiles pandoc-style citations to the cite package format. A quick workaround would be to first use the --natbib flag in pandoc to convert to natbib:
pandoc article.md -s --natbib -o article.tex
and then use the following sed commands to rename all the citations from \citet and \citep to \cite as well as change the natbib package in the preamble to cite:
sed -i 's/\\cite[t,p]{/\\cite{/g' article.tex
sed -i 's/{natbib}/{cite}/' article.tex
If you want to avoid overwriting your original .tex file, you can pipe successive sed calls and save to a new file:
sed 's/\\cite[t,p]{/\\cite{/g' article.tex | sed 's/{natbib}/{cite}/' > article-new.tex

As @DG' writes one can load a citation style from a csl-file from the Zotero Style Repository. The code would be like:
