[Paragraph](../paragraph/) and [Table](../../aspose.words.tables/table/). The classes that derive from [InlineStory](./) are inline-level nodes that can contain their own text (paragraphs and tables). For example, a [Comment](../comment/) node contains text of a comment and a [Footnote](../../aspose.words.notes/footnote/) contains text of a footnote. ## Examples Shows how to insert and customize footnotes. ```cpp auto doc = System::MakeObject(); auto builder = System::MakeObject(doc); // Add text, and reference it with a footnote. This footnote will place a small superscript reference // mark after the text that it references and create an entry below the main body text at the bottom of the page. // This entry will contain the footnote's reference mark and the reference text, // which we will pass to the document builder's "InsertFootnote" method. builder->Write(u"Main body text."); System::SharedPtr footnote = builder->InsertFootnote(FootnoteType::Footnote, u"Footnote text."); // If this property is set to "true", then our footnote's reference mark // will be its index among all the section's footnotes. // This is the first footnote, so the reference mark will be "1". ASSERT_TRUE(footnote->get_IsAuto()); // We can move the document builder inside the footnote to edit its reference text. builder->MoveTo(footnote->get_FirstParagraph()); builder->Write(u" More text added by a DocumentBuilder."); builder->MoveToDocumentEnd(); ASSERT_EQ(u"\u0002 Footnote text. More text added by a DocumentBuilder.", footnote->GetText().Trim()); builder->Write(u" More main body text."); footnote = builder->InsertFootnote(FootnoteType::Footnote, u"Footnote text."); // We can set a custom reference mark which the footnote will use instead of its index number. footnote->set_ReferenceMark(u"RefMark"); ASSERT_FALSE(footnote->get_IsAuto()); // A bookmark with the "IsAuto" flag set to true will still show its real index // even if previous bookmarks display custom reference marks, so this bookmark's reference mark will be a "3". builder->Write(u" More main body text."); footnote = builder->InsertFootnote(FootnoteType::Footnote, u"Footnote text."); ASSERT_TRUE(footnote->get_IsAuto()); doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"InlineStory.AddFootnote.docx"); ``` Shows how to add a comment to a paragraph. ```cpp auto doc = System::MakeObject(); auto builder = System::MakeObject(doc); builder->Write(u"Hello world!"); auto comment = System::MakeObject(doc, u"John Doe", u"JD", System::DateTime::get_Today()); builder->get_CurrentParagraph()->AppendChild>(comment); builder->MoveTo(comment->AppendChild>(System::MakeObject(doc))); builder->Write(u"Comment text."); ASSERT_EQ(System::DateTime::get_Today(), comment->get_DateTime()); // In Microsoft Word, we can right-click this comment in the document body to edit it, or reply to it. doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"InlineStory.AddComment.docx"); ``` ## See Also * Class [CompositeNode](../compositenode/) * Namespace [Aspose::Words](../) * Library [Aspose.Words for C++](../../)
