## FootnoteSeparator class

Represents a container for the footnote/endnote separator and continuation content of a document.


### Remarks

[FootnoteSeparator](./) can contain [Paragraph](../../aspose.words/paragraph/) and [Table](../../aspose.words/table/) child nodes.

There can only be one [FootnoteSeparator](./) of each [FootnoteSeparatorType](../footnoteseparatortype/) in a document.




**Inheritance:** [FootnoteSeparator](./) → [Story](../../aspose.words/story/) → [CompositeNode](../../aspose.words/compositenode/) → [Node](../../aspose.words/node/)
