HTML output does not include pandoc-crossref items when using GFM reader

[jankap]

Explain the problem.
I'm trying to find out if this is a bug in pandoc or pandoc-crossref, therefore there's a bug report in the pandoc-crossref repo, too: lierdakil/pandoc-crossref#465

When converting a MD document to HTML, using the GFM reader, cross references are not parsed, the HTML result looks like this:

However, docx and pdf work!

Commandline options are pandoc --filter pandoc-crossref --mathjax --citeproc --standalone --from gfm+emoji-gfm_auto_identifiers+yaml_metadata_block+attributes+tex_math_gfm example.md -o example.html

Using pandoc --filter pandoc-crossref --mathjax --citeproc --standalone --from markdown example.md -o example.html also works for HTML, but I need the ```math commands from GFM, see also #9121

Pandoc version?
Latest docker container

Big thanks for your dedication, I really love pandoc.

gfm doesn't support the citations extension, which is needed to get pandoc citations.
See jgm/commonmark-hs#15

@jgm thanks a lot for your quick answer.

I searched quite a lot through the repos but didn't find those tickets.

Given that the dependent issues are open since a long time, I assume there's no hope to seeing this arrive in one of the next iterations? 😁 Is this completely unlikely and I need to find different solutions?

Edit: why do docx and PDF export work though? I mean the input format is GFM?
Nevermind, they don't. I screwed up my pipeline config.
