Examples
Shows how to reference text with a footnote and an endnote.
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
# Insert some text and mark it with a footnote with the "is_auto" property set to "True" by default,
# so the marker seen in the body text will be auto-numbered at "1",
# and the footnote will appear at the bottom of the page.
builder.write('This text will be referenced by a footnote.')
builder.insert_footnote(aw.notes.FootnoteType.FOOTNOTE, 'Footnote comment regarding referenced text.')
# Insert more text and mark it with an endnote with a custom reference mark,
# which will be used in place of the number "2" and set "is_auto" to False.
builder.write('This text will be referenced by an endnote.')
builder.insert_footnote(aw.notes.FootnoteType.ENDNOTE, 'Endnote comment regarding referenced text.', 'CustomMark')
# Footnotes always appear at the bottom of their referenced text,
# so this page break will not affect the footnote.
# On the other hand, endnotes are always at the end of the document
# so that this page break will push the endnote down to the next page.
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.PAGE_BREAK)
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentBuilder.insert_footnote.docx')
