Re: Duplicate - non working footnotes after converting MD to PDF

[Bastien DUMONT <bastien.dumont-VwIFZPTo/vqsTnJN9+BGXg@public.gmane.org>]

Pandoc, by itself, does not set the footnote numbers: in only puts \footnote{} markup in the TeX file from which the PDF is generated. So you have to search for how to do what you want in LaTeX (e.g. here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/32401/footnote-backreference-with-hyperref) and to include the required commands in a custom LaTeX template or via the header-includes metadata variable.
