I'm not sure why you are using markdown as an intermediate file
format. Org will export to latex, pdf (via latex) and openoffice odt
(which can be exported from open/libre office to doc/docx.).
I had originally tried because of problems with the odt exporter,
which appears to have been fixed with the recent release, as noted
previously. Markdown is still extremely useful for formatting
references/bibliographies with bibtex and csl. Latex is not as useful
because it is nearly impossible to share latex files with those using
Word and most journals in my field do not accept latex files.
I am in the same fix -- writing in Org but needing to submit most things
in Word. Damned annoying.
It really would be nice to see Org get the references/bibliography
problem fixed up properly. The Pandoc version of Markdown does it well.
As you note, bibtex and csl is a killer combination.
Org is so nice to use for authoring that I can't give it away. I have a
book manuscript due in May and currently all my citations are using the
[[cite: key]] format with ox-bibtex. It is far from satisfactory and I'm
sure that May will see me tearing my hair out (what little is left).
Cheers,
Alan
