Shows how to insert and customize footnotes.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
# Add text, and reference it with a footnote. This footnote will place a small superscript reference
# mark after the text that it references and create an entry below the main body text at the bottom of the page.
# This entry will contain the footnote's reference mark and the reference text,
# which we will pass to the document builder's "insert_footnote" method.
builder.write('Main body text.')
footnote = builder.insert_footnote(aw.notes.FootnoteType.FOOTNOTE, 'Footnote text.')
# If this property is set to "True", then our footnote's reference mark
# will be its index among all the section's footnotes.
# This is the first footnote, so the reference mark will be "1".
self.assertTrue(footnote.is_auto)
# We can move the document builder inside the footnote to edit its reference text.
builder.move_to(footnote.first_paragraph)
builder.write(' More text added by a DocumentBuilder.')
builder.move_to_document_end()
self.assertEqual('\x02 Footnote text. More text added by a DocumentBuilder.', footnote.get_text().strip())
builder.write(' More main body text.')
footnote = builder.insert_footnote(aw.notes.FootnoteType.FOOTNOTE, 'Footnote text.')
# We can set a custom reference mark which the footnote will use instead of its index number.
footnote.reference_mark = 'RefMark'
self.assertFalse(footnote.is_auto)
# A bookmark with the "is_auto" flag set to True will still show its real index
# even if previous bookmarks display custom reference marks, so this bookmark's reference mark will be a "3".
builder.write(' More main body text.')
footnote = builder.insert_footnote(aw.notes.FootnoteType.FOOTNOTE, 'Footnote text.')
self.assertTrue(footnote.is_auto)
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'InlineStory.add_footnote.docx')

Shows how to add a comment to a paragraph.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
builder.write('Hello world!')
comment = aw.Comment(doc, 'John Doe', 'JD', date.today())
builder.current_paragraph.append_child(comment)
builder.move_to(comment.append_child(aw.Paragraph(doc)))
builder.write('Comment text.')
self.assertEqual(date.today(), comment.date_time.date())
# In Microsoft Word, we can right-click this comment in the document body to edit it, or reply to it.
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'InlineStory.add_comment.docx')
