Determines when automatic numbering restarts.

public FootnoteNumberingRule RestartRule { get; set; }

Examples

Shows how to restart footnote/endnote numbering at certain places in the document.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Footnotes and endnotes are a way to attach a reference or a side comment to text
// that does not interfere with the main body text's flow. 
// Inserting a footnote/endnote adds a small superscript reference symbol
// at the main body text where we insert the footnote/endnote.
// Each footnote/endnote also creates an entry, which consists of a symbol that matches the reference
// symbol in the main body text. The reference text that we pass to the document builder's "InsertEndnote" method.
// Footnote entries, by default, show up at the bottom of each page that contains
// their reference symbols, and endnotes show up at the end of the document.
builder.Write("Text 1. ");
builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Footnote, "Footnote 1.");
builder.Write("Text 2. ");
builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Footnote, "Footnote 2.");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
builder.Write("Text 3. ");
builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Footnote, "Footnote 3.");
builder.Write("Text 4. ");
builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Footnote, "Footnote 4.");

builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);

builder.Write("Text 1. ");
builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Endnote, "Endnote 1.");
builder.Write("Text 2. ");
builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Endnote, "Endnote 2.");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakNewPage);
builder.Write("Text 3. ");
builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Endnote, "Endnote 3.");
builder.Write("Text 4. ");
builder.InsertFootnote(FootnoteType.Endnote, "Endnote 4.");

// By default, the reference symbol for each footnote and endnote is its index
// among all the document's footnotes/endnotes. Each document maintains separate counts
// for footnotes and endnotes and does not restart these counts at any point.
Assert.AreEqual(doc.FootnoteOptions.RestartRule, FootnoteNumberingRule.Default);
Assert.AreEqual(FootnoteNumberingRule.Default, FootnoteNumberingRule.Continuous);

// We can use the "RestartRule" property to get the document to restart
// the footnote/endnote counts at a new page or section.
doc.FootnoteOptions.RestartRule = FootnoteNumberingRule.RestartPage;
doc.EndnoteOptions.RestartRule = FootnoteNumberingRule.RestartSection;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "InlineStory.NumberingRule.docx");
