Does pantable support footnote?

[gepcel]

Hi, I like pantable, and use it a lot. But I can't get footnotes done.

Here is my example:

testfootnote.md

# First paragraph

Some text first[^note1].

```table
---
caption: Caption of table[^note2]
markdown: true
---
Col1, Col2
A, B
```
[^note1]: Some description here.

[^note2]: Description for table.

Convert it to pdf using pandoc testfootnote.md -t latex --filter=pantable -o test.pdf.
note1 works, but note2 doesn't. Any way I can may make this work?

Thanks

It turns out that inline_notes works. For example:

```table
---
caption: Caption of table^[Description for table]
markdown: true
---
Col1, Col2
A, B
```

So I put the solution here, and close this issue.

Reopen to ensure I check this behavior. Probably no solution but at least document it.

In addition to the inline footnote you used, you could do it like this:

# First paragraph

Some text first[^note1].

```table
---
caption: |
    Caption of table[^note2]

    [^note2]: Description for table.
markdown: true
---
Col1, Col2
A, B


```
[^note1]: Some description here.

Essentially the entirety of the value of caption will be processed as an individual markdown fragment in terms of function calls.

Another method will be something like,

```table
---
caption: Caption of table[^note2]
markdown: true
---
Col1, Col2
A," B

[^note2]: Description for table."
```

which take advantage of the fact in pantable v0.13+ all the markdown cells are processed in a batch, allowing them to see the footnote anchor in other locations. So you could put all your footnotes in the last cell in your table and expect them to work.

Actually the creation of this example exposes a weakness and fixed in commit 8535aac, which leads to v0.13.1.
