I use Pandoc for processing Markdown manuscripts to ODT format. Markdown cite command is [@key] instead of LaTeX \cite{key}. In case of multiple citations this is [@key1; @key2]. Currently the preference for cite command does not include the { and } characters, making it impossible to change it to another cite command that does not use curly brackets. Also, the separating character (,) cannot be modified.

It would be great if this was more configurable:

1. cite command
2. surrounding characters
3. separating character
