To convert a Markdown file to a Word document (.docx) using Pandoc with footnotes at the bottom of each page, you can use the following command in the terminal:

pandoc input.md -o output.docx --reference-doc=reference.docx

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• input.md: Replace this with the path to your input Markdown file.
• -o output.docx: Specifies the output file name. Replace output.docx with the desired name for your Word document.
• --reference-doc=reference.docx: Specifies a reference Word document that contains the desired footnote styling. You need to create a Word document named reference.docx with the footnote settings configured as follows:
  1. Open a new Word document.
  2. Go to the "References" tab in the ribbon.
  3. Click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the "Footnotes" section to open the footnote settings.
  4. In the "Footnote and Endnote" dialog box, select "Footnotes" and choose "Bottom of page" for the "Footnotes" location.
  5. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the settings.
  6. Save the document as reference.docx in the same directory as your Markdown file.

Make sure you have Pandoc installed on your system. If you haven't installed it yet, you can download it from the official Pandoc website: https://pandoc.org/installing.html

Once you have Pandoc installed and have created the reference.docx file with the desired footnote settings, navigate to the directory containing your Markdown file in the terminal and run the provided command. Pandoc will convert the Markdown file to a Word document with footnotes placed at the bottom of each page.

Note: If your Markdown file contains complex formatting or specific styling requirements, you may need to customize the reference document further or use additional Pandoc options to achieve the desired output.
