Shows how to create headers and footers in a document using DocumentBuilder.

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

// Specify that we want different headers and footers for first, even and odd pages.
builder.PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = true;
builder.PageSetup.OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter = true;

// Create the headers, then add three pages to the document to display each header type.
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderFirst);
builder.Write("Header for the first page");
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderEven);
builder.Write("Header for even pages");
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
builder.Write("Header for all other pages");

builder.MoveToSection(0);
builder.Writeln("Page1");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
builder.Writeln("Page2");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
builder.Writeln("Page3");

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentBuilder.HeadersAndFooters.docx");
```

Shows how to insert a Table of contents (TOC) into a document using heading styles as entries.

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

// Insert a table of contents for the first page of the document.
// Configure the table to pick up paragraphs with headings of levels 1 to 3.
// Also, set its entries to be hyperlinks that will take us
// to the location of the heading when left-clicked in Microsoft Word.
builder.InsertTableOfContents("\\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);

// Populate the table of contents by adding paragraphs with heading styles.
// Each such heading with a level between 1 and 3 will create an entry in the table.
builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading1;
builder.Writeln("Heading 1");

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading2;
builder.Writeln("Heading 1.1");
builder.Writeln("Heading 1.2");

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading1;
builder.Writeln("Heading 2");
builder.Writeln("Heading 3");

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading2;
builder.Writeln("Heading 3.1");

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading3;
builder.Writeln("Heading 3.1.1");
builder.Writeln("Heading 3.1.2");
builder.Writeln("Heading 3.1.3");

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading4;
builder.Writeln("Heading 3.1.3.1");
builder.Writeln("Heading 3.1.3.2");

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading2;
builder.Writeln("Heading 3.2");
builder.Writeln("Heading 3.3");

// A table of contents is a field of a type that needs to be updated to show an up-to-date result.
doc.UpdateFields();
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentBuilder.InsertToc.docx");
```

Shows how to apply and revert page setup settings to sections in a document.

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

// Modify the page setup properties for the builder's current section and add text.
builder.PageSetup.Orientation = Orientation.Landscape;
builder.PageSetup.VerticalAlignment = PageVerticalAlignment.Center;
builder.Writeln("This is the first section, which landscape oriented with vertically centered text.");

// If we start a new section using a document builder,
// it will inherit the builder's current page setup properties.
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakNewPage);

Assert.That(doc.Sections[1].PageSetup.Orientation, Is.EqualTo(Orientation.Landscape));
Assert.That(doc.Sections[1].PageSetup.VerticalAlignment, Is.EqualTo(PageVerticalAlignment.Center));

// We can revert its page setup properties to their default values using the "ClearFormatting" method.
builder.PageSetup.ClearFormatting();

Assert.That(doc.Sections[1].PageSetup.Orientation, Is.EqualTo(Orientation.Portrait));
Assert.That(doc.Sections[1].PageSetup.VerticalAlignment, Is.EqualTo(PageVerticalAlignment.Top));

builder.Writeln("This is the second section, which is in default Letter paper size, portrait orientation and top alignment.");

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "PageSetup.ClearFormatting.docx");
```
