Style and link citations in Pandoc

Question

I am using the IEEE citation style from http://www.zotero.org/styles/ieee with Pandoc in a project.

When I cite a reference, it shows up as 1 in the text, whereas I would like it to show up as [1].

I have located this fragment in the ieee.csl file that I assume I need to edit:

212   <!-- Citation -->
213   <citation collapse="citation-number">
214     <sort>
215       <key variable="citation-number"/>
216     </sort>
217     <layout delimiter=", ">
218       <group prefix="[" suffix="]" delimiter=", ">
219         <text variable="citation-number"/>
220         <text macro="citation-locator"/>
221       </group>
222     </layout>
223   </citation>

I have two questions:

How do I make it show the square brackets on single citations?
How do I make it link to the citation at the end of the document?

For linking, see https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1117 (not yet possible). — Rintze Zelle, Apr 14 '15 at 20:20
How are you citing references? The style should already include brackets (see the brackets on line 218 in your snippet). — Rintze Zelle, Apr 14 '15 at 20:21
@RintzeZelle: It's starting to work now (as of 5 days ago... ) -- see link you linked to :) — Kurt Pfeifle, May 07 '15 at 12:49

For linking back to the citation, this is starting to work now. See

https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1117 , which says:

"I have just pushed a change to pandoc-citeproc that gives you clickable years (which link to the corresponding bibliography entry) in author-year citation formats. Note that this does not yet work with numerical citation styles." (JGM)

This will likely arrive in the next major release of Pandoc, v1.14.

Thanks for the update. I will give it a try as soon as the homebrew distribution gets updated. – henrikstroem May 07 '15 at 14:47
