This footnote will appear at the bottom of the page. R Markdown lets you use a LaTeX-esque syntax for defining footnotes:ġ. The ‘standard’ method for adding footnotes in R Markdown is actually a bit of a cheat compared to the method in the official Markdown specification. My recent post on using SQL style filtering to preprocess large spatial datasets before loading them into memory needed a whopping six footnotes, so I finally had to sit down and figure it out. My solution thus far has been to just avoid footnotes and lean heavily on parenthetical asides when I’m using R Markdown to generate a page.

As a side benefit, you can drop the -wrap=preserve flag and end up with. Rmd files like me, all you need to do is add +footnotes to the end of of the variant: gfm line in your YAML header. If you’re running pandoc from the command line all you need to do is add -t gfm+footnotes to your pandoc command.
Since standard markdown natively supports footnotes when used as an output format, I didn’t even think to look into manually enabling them for GitHub-Flavored Markdown. The documentation notes that you can add extensions to output formats they don’t normally support. Update: John MacFarlane helpfully pointed out that this is all incredibly unnecessary because pandoc makes it easy to add support for footnotes to GitHub-Flavored Markdown.
