Table of contents, footnotes, endnotes, and bibliography

Table of Contents

Insert a TOC field that Word applications can update:

{
  "sections": [
    {
      "children": [
        { "paragraph": { "heading": "Heading1", "children": ["Table of Contents"] } },
        { "toc": { "alias": "Table of Contents", "hyperlink": true, "headingStyleRange": "1-3" } }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Footnotes

Add footnotes at the bottom of pages:

{
  "footnotes": {
    "1": { "children": ["This is the first footnote."] },
    "2": { "children": ["This is the second footnote."] }
  },
  "sections": [
    {
      "children": [
        {
          "paragraph": {
            "children": [
              "A statement with a footnote",
              { "footnoteReference": 1 },
              " and another",
              { "footnoteReference": 2 },
              "."
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Endnotes

Endnotes appear at the end of the document or section:

{
  "endnotes": {
    "1": { "children": ["This is an endnote."] }
  },
  "sections": [
    {
      "children": [
        { "paragraph": { "children": ["Text with an endnote", { "endnoteReference": 1 }] } }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Bibliography

Add a bibliography section for citations:

import { generateDocument } from "@office-open/docx";

// Bibliography entries are typically defined via XML sources
// and referenced through citation fields in the document
