11.3.7 Footnotes Part

Content Type:

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.footnotes+xml

Root Namespace:

http://purl.oclc.org/ooxml/wordprocessingml/main

Source Relationship:

http://purl.oclc.org/ooxml/officeDocument/relationships/footnotes

An instance of this part type contains all the footnotes for the document.

A package shall contain no more than two Footnotes parts. If it exists, one instance of that part shall be the target of an implicit relationship from the Main Document (11.3.10) part, and the other shall be the target of an implicit relationship from the Glossary Document (11.3.8) part.

[Example: The Main Document part-relationship item contains a relationship to the Footnotes part, which is stored as the ZIP item footnotes.xml:

<Relationships xmlns="…">
  <Relationship Id="rId5"
    Type="http://…/footnotes" Target="footnotes.xml"/>
</Relationships>

end example]

The root element for a Footnotes part shall be footnotes.

[Example:

<w:footnotes xmlns:w="…" …>
  <w:footnote …>
    …
  </w:footnote>
  <w:footnote …>
    …
  </w:footnote>
</w:footnotes>

end example]

The XML markup for a footnote in a Main Document part involves the footnoteReference element.

[Example: Consider the case in which the Main Document part contains the text “… in the Standard.”, and there is a footnote inserted immediately after the period:

<w:p …>
  …
  <w:r>
    <w:t>… in the Standard.</w:t>
  </w:r>
  <w:r>
    <w:rPr>
      <w:rStyle w:val="FootnoteReference"/>
    </w:rPr>
    <w:footnoteReference w:id="5"/>
  </w:r>
</w:p>

end example]

Each footnote has a corresponding footnote element in the Footnotes part, which contains the text of the footnote and the footnoteRef element.

[Example: The text of the footnote is “This can be downloaded from http://www.aabbcc.com/index.html.” where “http://www.aabbcc.com/index.html” is marked as a hyperlink:

<w:footnotes xmlns:w="…"
  <w:footnote w:id="5">
    <w:p>
      <w:r>
        <w:rPr>
          <w:rStyle w:val="FootnoteReference"/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:footnoteRef/>
      </w:r>
      <w:r>
        <w:t xml:space="preserve">This can be downloaded from </w:t>
      </w:r>
      <w:hyperlink r:id="rId2" w:history="1">
        <w:r>
          <w:rPr>
            <w:rStyle w:val="Hyperlink"/>
          </w:rPr>
          <w:t>http://www.aabbcc.com/index.html</w:t>
        </w:r>
      </w:hyperlink>
      <w:r>
        <w:t>.</w:t>
      </w:r>
    </w:p>
  </w:footnote>
</w:footnotes>

end example]
