Examples

Shows how to select a different place where the document collects and displays its endnotes.

let doc = new aw.Document();
let builder = new aw.DocumentBuilder(doc);

// An endnote is a way to attach a reference or a side comment to text
// that does not interfere with the main body text's flow. 
// Inserting an endnote adds a small superscript reference symbol
// at the main body text where we insert the endnote.
// Each endnote also creates an entry at the end of the document, consisting 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.
builder.write("Hello world!");

builder.insertBreak(aw.BreakType.SectionBreakNewPage);
builder.write("This is the second section.");

// We can use the "Position" property to determine where the document will place all its endnotes.
// If we set the value of the "Position" property to "EndnotePosition.EndOfDocument",
// every footnote will show up in a collection at the end of the document. This is the default value.
// If we set the value of the "Position" property to "EndnotePosition.EndOfSection",
// every footnote will show up in a collection at the end of the section whose text contains the endnote's reference mark.

Shows how to change the number style of footnote/endnote reference marks.
