Markdown with footnotes to LaTeX

[writersglen]

I’m trying to automate my writing workflow;

1. Draft markdown with footnotes on iPad
2. Transfer *.md file to Linux (Ubuntu 24.04)
3. Pandoc markdown to LaTex
4. Edit Latex as needed (want minimize this step)
5. Compile *.tex to *.pdf with lualatex

But Pandoc *.md to *.tex doesn’t seem to support footnotes.
Am I missing something? What do?
Thanks,
LRP

Pandoc Markdown does support footnotes, with both reference-style footnotes and inline footnotes. Here is a minimal example:

<!-- test.md -->

Here is a footnote reference,[^1] and another.[^longnote]

[^1]: Here is the footnote.

[^longnote]: Here's one with multiple blocks.

    Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they
belong to the previous footnote.

        { some.code }

    The whole paragraph can be indented, or just the first
    line.  In this way, multi-paragraph footnotes work like
    multi-paragraph list items.

This paragraph won't be part of the note, because it
isn't indented.

Here is an inline note.^[Inline notes are easier to write, since
you don't have to pick an identifier and move down to type the
note.]

By running pandoc test.md -o test.tex, you can get:

Here is a footnote reference,\footnote{Here is the footnote.} and
another.\footnote{Here's one with multiple blocks.

  Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they belong to the
  previous footnote.

\begin{Verbatim}
{ some.code }
\end{Verbatim}

  The whole paragraph can be indented, or just the first line. In this
  way, multi-paragraph footnotes work like multi-paragraph list items.}

This paragraph won't be part of the note, because it isn't indented.

Here is an inline note.\footnote{Inline notes are easier to write, since
