Footnotes module

Installation

You will need docxtemplater npm install docxtemplater

Install this module with npm install --save "$url"

Usage (nodejs)

Your docx should contain the text: {:footnote foot}

var FootnoteModule = require("docxtemplater-footnote-module");
var footnoteModule = new FootnoteModule({});

var zip = new PizZip(content);
var doc = new Docxtemplater(zip, {
  modules: [footnoteModule],
});
doc.setData({ foot: "The text of the footnote" }).render();

var buffer = doc.getZip().generate({
  type: "nodebuffer",
  compression: "DEFLATE",
});

fs.writeFile("test.docx", buffer);

After installing the module, you can use a working demo by running node sample.js.

Bold/Italic

It is possible to write your footnotes with bold/italic or other styles :

Footnote styled

To do it , use following code :

var footnoteModule = new FootnoteModule({
  raw: true,
});
doc.setData({
  foot: `<w:r>
    <w:rPr><w:b/></w:rPr>
    <w:t xml:space="preserve">Albert Einstein – Biography </w:t>
    </w:r>
    <w:r>
    <w:rPr><w:i/></w:rPr>
    <w:t>. Nobel Foundation. Archived from the original on 6 March 2007. Retrieved 7 March 2007.</w:t>
    </w:r>
    `,
});

Customization

It is possible to customize how footnotes look like with the refProperties option.

For example, to have the numbers in the footnotes section written in superscript, you can do :

var footnoteModule = new FootnoteModule({
  refProperties: '<w:vertAlign w:val="superscript"/>',
});

CHANGELOG

3.2.3

Add typescript definitions for public API

3.2.2

Move webpack from dependency to devDependency (which triggered an error during installation on node version 10)

3.2.1

Internal change to allow to match tags with non-breaking space.

When entering Ctrl+Shift+Space, a "non-breaking" space is created.

When using a non-breaking space in the tag {:footnote data}, the tag would not be replaced correctly.

3.2.0

If you use docxtemplater 3.20.0 or later, you have to upgrade the footnotes module to this version.

This is because of an internal change in the docxtemplater module that also affects the footnotes module.

3.1.4

Add support to template existing footnotes, for example if a footnote contains : Hello {name} , it will be replaced by Hello Edgar if the data is {name: "Edgar"}

3.1.3

Small bugfix related to change in "docxtemplater@3.17.2", you need to upgrade to "docxtemplater@3.17.3" and this version to avoid a possible corruption in settings.xml

3.1.2

Declare supportedFileTypes, which allows to use this module with the new docxtemplater constructor which was introduced in docxtemplater 3.17.

3.1.1

Bugfix : Do not fail with "Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined" when passing no data

3.1.0

Add support for {raw: true} option to pass data as runs instead of as texts
Fix bug (escape) when data contains >, < or other XML characters

3.0.7

Update browser build to use XMLSerializer instead of xmldom
Use requiredAPIVersion

3.0.6

Move docxtemplater from devDependencies to dependencies

Explanation : On some versions of npm (notably 5.8.0), when having a package containing docxtemplater-footnotes-module, the installation will generate a tree of node_modules that puts the module on a level where it has no access to docxtemplater. By explicitly asking it as a dependency, this issue is avoided.

3.0.5

Make module compatible with docxtemplater version 3.5 and below.

Explanation : Recently, the scopemananger API (internal API) has changed, this new version of the footnotes module makes the module work with both versions newer than 3.6 and older than 3.6 of docxtemplater.
