CITE_EXPORT and BIBLIOGRAPHY Ignored by Ox-pandoc?

[oncomouse]

I'm trying to export an org file to docx using pandoc, and it looks like ox-pandoc is ignoring CITE_EXPORT and BIBLIOGRAPHY headers in my org files.

I have the following sample bibtex file:

@book{zylinska_minimal_2014,
  title = {Minimal {{Ethics}} for the {{Anthropocene}}},
  author = {Zylinska, Joanna},
  year = {2014},
  month = sep,
  publisher = {Open Humanities},
  address = {Ann Arbor, MI},
  isbn = {978-1-60785-329-9},
  langid = {english}
}

CSL files are installed in ~/.csl.

The following file produces proper citations when I use org-html-export-as-html (including footnotes and bibliography entries):

#+CITE_EXPORT: csl ~/.csl/chicago-note-bibliography.csl
#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: test.bib

[cite:@zylinska_minimal_2014, p. 56]

#+print_bibliography:

However, the above file does not work when I use org-pandoc-export-to-docx. Instead, I just see [cite:@zylinska_minimal_2014, p. 56] in the body of the Word document.

This second org file does produce a docx file with properly formatted citations when using org-pandoc-export-to-docx:

#+PANDOC_OPTIONS: csl:~/.csl/chicago-note-bibliography.csl
#+PANDOC_OPTIONS: bibliography:test.bib
#+PANDOC_OPTIONS: citeproc:t standalone:t

[cite:@zylinska_minimal_2014, p. 56]

#+print_bibliography:

I'd prefer to not rely on pandoc for adding citations (I occasionally need to export to HTML, for instance). It seems like something in ox-pandoc on my system is bypassing handling CITE_EXPORT as an option, but I'm not sure how to proceed with figuring out what it is.

Thanks!

So, I've done some more digging with this and it looks like it was because I was using straight to load org-mode from github. Switching to the version of org that's built-in to Emacs 29.3, everything works. Switching to org-mode 9.7 with straight causes the problem. I'm having trouble figuring out where in the org commit history this problem was introduced, however.

Org 9.7 introduced a breaking change in org->org exporter that we use to pre-process Org file before passing it to pandoc.

Before Org 9.7, citations were unconditionally expanded. In Org 9.7, they are left as is.

I pushed a tentative fix to fix/39 branch. May you try it?

Sorry it took me so long to get back. The fix works!
