[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#635959: pandoc: add support for BibTeX bibliographic database

[Denis Laxalde]

Package: pandoc
Version: 1.8.1.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

(I'm not sure this is the proper route to report this issue since it
might actually be a RFP. Hence Cc: pkg-haskell-maintainers.)

Pandoc 1.8 added support for citations using citeproc-hs which, in
turns, relies on hs-bibutils [1] to deal with Bibtex bibliographic
database. Unfortunately, the latter does not appear to be available in
Debian so that pandoc/citeproc cannot handle bibtex database at the
moment.

Cheers,

Denis.
