WordprocessingML – Footnotes and Endnotes

Footnotes and Endnotes

• Footnotes and endnotes are again ‘stories’ in a WordprocessingML document

• Like the main document story, they can contain text, graphics or data (such as page number, date, document title, and so on)

– There is no fundamental restriction to the contents of a footnote or endnote story

Footnotes and Endnotes

• However there are many types of footnote or endnote stories:

– Footnotes, endnotes, separators, continuation separators and continuation notices

Footnotes and Endnotes

• Again, what makes these unique is where they are displayed in page view:

– Footnotes appear beneath the bottom extents of the main text story on a specific page

– Endnotes appear at the end of a section or end of the document

• Again, the appearance is influenced based on document section-level properties

Footnotes Part

• Stored in the footnotes part, which has an implicit relationship from the document part

• Relationship type:http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/footnotes

• Content type:vnd-openxmlformats.officedocument.wordprocessingml-footnotes+xml

Endnotes Part

• Stored in the endnotes part, which has an implicit relationship from the document part

• Relationship type:http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/endnotes

• Content type:vnd-openxmlformats.officedocument.wordprocessingml-endnotes+xml

Using a Footnote or Endnote

• Using headers and footers in WordprocessingML consists of three parts:

– Document story contents (where the footnote or endnote reference is)

– The part (the contents of the footnote or endnote)

– (optional) Document properties (placement of the footnotes or endnotes)

Using a Footnote or Endnote

• The properties are not required, but can dictate the appearance

– E.g. end of section or end of document

Referencing a Footnote or Endnote

• A footnote is anchored in another story via the footnoteReference or endnoteReferencetags

– Each footnote or endnote indexed within the part via an ID

– Document references this footnote or endnote ID

Footnote Reference Example

Footnote of ID “2” is anchored in this paragraph (shown on same page)

Footnotes and Endnotes

• A WordprocessingML footnote and endnote consists of three main components:

– Footnote or endnote type:

– Normal

– Separator or Continuation separator

– Continuation notice

– Block-level Content

• There is no restriction on a footnote or endnote story’s content

– ID for reference

Footnote Example

Normal footnote

Footnote or Endnote Type

• Each type defines when it is used:– Normal

– Separator• The text between the document content and the start of

footnotes/endnotes

– Continuation separator• The text at the top of a page when footnotes/endnotes

continue from the previous page

– Continuation notice• The text at the bottom of a page when footnotes/endnotes

overflow the page
