Thanks I wish that worked. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, here's what 
I've got…

`pandoc --version` says user data dir is `~/.local/share/pandoc` so I 
placed this file there as 
`~/.local/share/pandoc/links-with-page-number.lua` and did (just in case) 
`chmod +x` on it.

`pandoc -o test.pdf test.html` produces a 2page pdf as expected with no 
footnotes.

`pandoc -L links-with-page-number.lua -o test.pdf test.html` fails to 
produce pdf file with:
```
Error running filter links-with-page-number.lua:
links-with-page-number.lua: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or 
directory)
```

There's no typo in my script name or command invocation. Using ~/.pandoc 
instead of ~/.local/share/pandoc doesn't make any difference, still get 
that same error.

Any ideas?
