I'm trying to create several chapters for an esay I'm writing, but i'd like 
to *restart footnotes numbering for each chapter* and I don't know how to 
do it. After searching for information, I saw this on SuperUser 
<https://superuser.com/questions/1454255/pandoc-duplicate-footnotes-multiple-files-same-name/> 
(StackExchange) and I tried to replicate  the solution. 

In that example, the user tried to convert several .md files into an html5 
one, but I'm trying to get a single PDF file. I generate the file, *but it 
doesn't work as I wanted*. 

The file structure is like this:

*chapters/*
*  01-chapter.md*
*  02-chapter.md*
*  03-chapter.md*
*format.sh*
*parse.sh*

<https://superuser.com/posts/1454255/timeline>
*parse.sh* 

*pandoc -t pdf -o ~/Documents/test.pdf --file-scope chapters/*.md*

*format.sh*

*for f in chapters/*.md; *

*    do *

*         pandoc "$f" -o "$f" -t \ *
*         markdown+smart+footnotes-escaped_line_breaks+example_lists \*

*         --columns=80; *
*    done* 

In this example I have the same problem as OP had:

"The problem is 01-chapter.md and 02-chapter.md have both a footnote [^1]. 
Basically I would like Pandoc to handle the footnotes for each file 
separately and not allow cross-referencing across my markdown files but I 
can't see any way to do this".

The solution, apparently, is to use the *--file-scope* flag. I apply it, 
but on the resulting PDF there are two problems: 

   1. Footnote numbering *doesn't restart*: I had [1] and [2] in Chapter 1, 
   and [1] and [2] in Chapter 2, but here I have [1] and [2] in Chapter 1 and 
   [3] and [4] in Chapter 2. 
   2. *No links back* from the footnotes to the text where they were used.
   
I'm just beginning to know pandoc and I don't understand exactly how that 
works, but I guess there must be some option in pandoc that can solve this. 
Any ideas? Thank you
