r - How to move the bibliography in markdown/pandoc

Question

I'm currently writing my bachelor thesis and my instructor wants me to put my appendix after the bibliography but markdown/pandoc puts the references at the end by default. I read the instructions at http://yihui.name/knitr/demo/pandoc/ and tried to use the include-after-body=FILE command to put a separate .rmd file at the end of the document My code looks like this:

```{r, echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE}
library(knitr)
pandoc('thesis.rmd', format="latex")
```

and for the options:

<!--pandoc
t: latex
include-after-body: appendix.rmd
o: output.pdf
-->

Where appendix.rmd is the separate appendix file.

After klicking on convert pdf, the process gets stuck with an error after the line executing pandoc --include-after-body=appendix.rmd -o thesis.pdf -f markdown -t latex -o thesis.pdf "thesis.utf8md"

The error is:

pandoc.exe: Error producing PDF from TeX source.

Is there something wrong with the code or is there some other method to remove the bibliography from the end of the document?

Answer 1

There is another solution:

<div id="refs"></div>

It lets you put the references wherever you want.
