17.11.1 continuationSeparator

This element specifies the presence of a continuation separator mark within the current run. A continuation separator mark is a horizontal line which spans the width of the main story’s text extents.

[Note: The continuation separator mark is typically used within the context of continuation separator footnotes or endnotes. These footnote and endnote types define the footnote/endnote used to separate the contents of the main document story from continuation of footnotes or endnotes which began on a previous page. end note]

[Example: Consider the following two pages in a document, where some text is referenced by a footnote that extends to the next page (with the continuation separator circled in red):

The line separating the document text from the footnote that is continued on the next page is represented by the following WordprocessingML:

<w:footnote w:type="continuationSeparator" w:id="1">
  <w:p>
    <w:r>
      <w:continuationSeparator />
    </w:r>
  </w:p>
</w:footnote>

In this example, the footnote has a content which consists of a single continuationSeparator, which is displayed as a horizontal line across the text extents. end example]
