4.0

• appends date at filename of created file
• pconf option to set American date format (mm-dd-yyyy) instead of the normal date format (dd-mm-yyyy)
• fixed bug where Chinese characters in filenames can break pandoc
• rewritten core parts of the code in Javascript
• improved matching of the Citation Picker
• speed up of the citation picker
• Workaround for pdflatex when using ARM (M1) Macs: use pconf and choose pdflatex-ARM. More info on the problem.
• more intuitive renaming of the citation pickers

3.9

• ppconf option to set an additional resource path subfolder (e.g. "attachments"). Pandoc will then always look for resources (e.g. images) in a subfolder of that name located in the same directory as the Markdown file. (In addition to the directory of the Markdown file itself. )
• improved debugging
• Fixed an issue with homebrew-installed Pandoc on ARM Macs ("M1 Macs").
• Issues with Chinese characters have been noted and will be adressed in the next release

Version 3.8

• ➡️ Support for using the hotkey from in Obsidian. However, it requires some minor setup.
• 👉 Name Change: due to the increasing role of the Citation Picker(s), the name of this workflow has been changed to reflect it's functionality more appropriately. It is now called "Pandoc Suite and BibTeX-Zotero-Citation Picker for Academic Writing in Markdown". For now...
• pconf option to force reload the buffer. Useful for debugging, when the BibTeX citation picker acts up. (Buffer normally only reloads when there have been changes to the .bib file)

Further improvements for the alternative citation picker

• The alternative citation picker is now blazing fast! Only the first run will take a moment to construct a buffer. (Took me a while to figure out how to to this correctly)
• volume and issue number are now displayed next to journal titles.
• cleaned up a lot of formatting like curly brackets ({}) which were still appearing sometimes
• DOIs are now also indicated by the presence of an icon (not sure about what icon is appropriate though)
• if there is no URL but a DOI, the DOI is transformed into an URL that can be opened via ⌃ + ↵
• cmd+c now copies the URL instead of cite key (for easy sharing of references, e.g. via mail). Again, if there is not URL, the DOI is used instead
• speed improvement when copying the bibliography via fn + ↵, now happens practically instantly
• the citation picker now also uses the bibliography of the second library chosen via pconf

ℹ️📍3.6: More Improvements to the alternative Citation Picker

• cmd+c to copy the citekey to the clipboard (without pasting, page numbers or further citations)
• improved speed of the Citation Picker
• prevent accidental triggering of URLs in the Picker when there is none
• now also shows book titles when the entry is a book chapter
• enabled autocompletion (via tab)
• citation picker now remembers choices, i.e. when an entry is chosen multiple times, it will appear on top

ℹ️📍 Version 3.5: Improved Alternative Ciation Picker

Essentially, it is now an extensive Citation Picker, allowing you to copy a citation, open the URL, copy the full bibliography, or open the entry in BibDesk. Give it a try by selecting the new citation picker via the pconf command. If you prefer the classic citation picker, you can switch back via pconf anytime.
Visit the documentation for a description of all features of the Alternative Citation Picker.

Changes in Detail

• You can now also trigger the alternative citation picker via the Alfred keyword cite
• Indicates the existence of an URL for an entry with an icon. Use ⌃ + ↵ to open the URL (instead of creating a citation).
• fn + ↵: Paste the full bibliography of the entry (instead of creating a citation). Uses the same citation style you have specified via pconf
• ⌥ + ↵: open the respective citation in BibDesk.
• Shows the journal in the citation picker for applicable entry types.

3.1: Support for other reference managers than Zotero & Option to use an additional BibTeX library

• The reference management app should use BibTeX as library format. Jabref and BibDesk are two open source reference managers that do so. To use the Pandoc Suite without Zotero, you must select the alternative citation picker. The Pandoc Suite now searches the home folder when locating .csl files.
• Option to set a second bibliography via pconf. Leave empty to only use one bibliography.
• displays editors of the publication in the alternative citation picker when there is no author
• various smaller fixes

3.0: Alternative Citation Picker

• ➡️ Select the new citation picker via the pconf command. If you prefer the classic citation picker, just switch back via pconf.
• Zotero does not need to be running to pick citations (uses the BibTeX-Library)
• uses Alfred instead of Zotero as GUI for the Picker
• works faster
• ⌘ ↵ to add page numbers, ⌥ ↵ to add another citation. ⌘⌥ ↵ to add page numbers and then add another citation.

Version 2.11
