Examples

Shows how to store endnotes at the end of each section, and modify their positions.

    doc = aw.Document()
    doc.remove_all_children()
    # By default, a document compiles all endnotes at its end.
    self.assertEqual(aw.notes.EndnotePosition.END_OF_DOCUMENT, doc.endnote_options.position)
    # We use the "position" property of the document's "EndnoteOptions" object
    # to collect endnotes at the end of each section instead.
    doc.endnote_options.position = aw.notes.EndnotePosition.END_OF_SECTION
    insert_section_with_endnote(doc, 'Section 1', 'Endnote 1, will stay in section 1')
    insert_section_with_endnote(doc, 'Section 2', 'Endnote 2, will be pushed down to section 3')
    insert_section_with_endnote(doc, 'Section 3', 'Endnote 3, will stay in section 3')
    # While getting sections to display their respective endnotes, we can set the "suppress_endnotes" flag
    # of a section's "page_setup" object to "True" to revert to the default behavior and pass its endnotes
    # onto the next section.

    doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PageSetup.suppress_endnotes.docx')
