Footnote seems not to work when inside a caption.

input file:input.mmd

![picture[^note] caption][picture]

[picture]: image.png

[^note]: note about the caption

command:

pandoc input.mmd -o output.pdf

error message:

pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source.
! Argument of \Hy@tempa has an extra }.
<inserted text>

l.74 ...\footnote{note about the caption} caption}

Ok, then if it's a common latex problem, should I close the issue or leave it like this?

It might be worth fiddling to see if we can get something like this latex output when a caption includes a footnote:

\begin{figure}
...
\caption[caption without footnote, for lof]{caption with footnote replaced by\footnotemark}
\end{figure}
\footnotetext{The footnote}

citation within caption crashes pandoc if csl specified #188

@jgm jgm added a commit that referenced this issue
@jgm LaTeX writer: avoid footnotes in list of figures. 
Footnotes aren't allowed in the list of figures.  This
patch causes footnotes to be stripped from captions when
entered into the list of figures.

Footnotes still don't actually WORK in captions in latex/pdf,
but at least an error is no longer raised.

See #1506.
