So I'm editing a document that is being converted to PDF with pandoc. It uses 

@someAuthor

in the body to do citations.

\cite does not appear to work, rendering ?? in the document produced.

The document uses a .csl file to define the bibliography style.

Single citations appear as [1]

My question is: how do I cite multiple sources, producing [1, 2, 3], as I would if \cite{a, b, c} worked?

    @ is certainly not the normal biblatex way to cite. You mention CSL files, so you can't be using biblatex. Are you using pandoc?

  • I literally just debugged this; yes it was a Pandoc issue/problem. Should I edit / answer or delete to record the discovery for future users?

    By all means answer your own question if you found the solution. But please also edit your question to make it more useful: I.e. mention that you are using Pandoc, don't mention biblatex. Tag your question correctly. Use code highlighting etc. Technically your question might be off topic, but it might help other people as there is no pandoc.SX.

The @references are part of pandoc, not latex. pandoc uses semi-colons to separate references. Thus

[@someAuthor1; @someAuthor2]

Will render as

[1, 2]

given the appropriate .csl (eg bibliography style). Note that the square brackets are not produced twice in the document.
