RMarkdown generates a nice bibliography with pandoc (using the citeproc option) via LaTeX, where the second line is aligned to the second field (i.e. after the number of the citation) like in

1. Long title of
   the first citation

However, when generating output in docx (or odt) format the second line is not aligned to the second field of the first line despite using the second-field-align="flush" option in my CSL file:

1. Long title of
the first citation

The important part of my CSL file looks like this:

  <bibliography et-al-min="6" et-al-use-first="1" second-field-align="flush" entry-spacing="0" line-spacing="2">
    <layout suffix=".">
      <text variable="citation-number" suffix="."/>
      <group delimiter=" ">
        <text macro="author" suffix="."/>
        <text macro="title" suffix="."/>
        <choose>
          <if type="chapter paper-conference" match="any">
            <text term="in"/>
          </if>
        </choose>
        <text macro="container-title"/>
        <text macro="editor"/>
        <text macro="volume"/>
        <text variable="page"/>
        <text macro="issuance"/>
        <text macro="access"/>
      </group>
    </layout>
  </bibliography>

Which additional diagnostics could I run to figure out why the second-field-align="flush" tag ignored for the docx (odt) output?

Besides, I would interested in a way to decrease the indentation after the citation number.

Unfortunately, this issue does not seem to be resolved yet. This has been discussed in the pandoc discussion board and previous pandoc-citeproc maintainers have fixed it but the issue may be resurrected after pandoc moves from pandoc-citeproc to citeproc.
