Hi Christophe,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I've not used lua filters before. It took me a while to realise how to make a command line with the input file and output file.

I thought I'd write back and include tis for the benefit of any novices like me.

I've now done this with your script, inserting the '-i' for the input file and using output redirection '>' for the output file

pandoc --lua-filter note.lua -t markdown -i <input file> | sed -e 's/%%opening%%/\^\[/g' | sed -e 's/%%closing%%/\]/g' > <output file>

This works on my small example file.

Thank you once again.

with this note.lua file

function Note(note)
note.content[1].content[1].text = "%%opening%%" .. note.content[1].content[1].text
note.content[1].content[#note.content[1].content].text = note.content[1].content[#note.content[1].content].text .. "%%closing%%"
return note.content[1].content
end

Is it possible to use Pandoc to convert an md file that has reference footnotes to one that has inline footnotes - just by going from md -> md, but failing that via another format.

I have a file containing reference footnotes like this
----
    Example[^1] line of text.

    [^1]: Example footnote
----

I would like to convert them all to inline footnotes like this

----
    Example^[Example footnote] line of text.
----

Thank you for any help
