Preview Feature

This module is currently in preview. Request access to try it out.

Adding footnotes to documents using the docstencil-docx-pro module.

Adding the Module​

OfficeTemplateOptions options = new OfficeTemplateOptions()
    .withModule(new FootnoteModule());
val options = OfficeTemplateOptions()
    .withModule(FootnoteModule())

Basic Syntax​

Use $footnote to insert a footnote reference with its content:

This claim requires citation{insert $footnote("Source: Annual Report 2024")}*{end}.

The placeholder (*) becomes a footnote reference number, and the text appears at the bottom of the page.

Dynamic Content​

Use variables for footnote text:

{insert $footnote(source.citation)}*{end}

Footnotes in Loops​

Generate footnotes from data:

{for fact in facts}
{fact.statement}{insert $footnote(fact.source)}*{end}
{end}

Formatting Within Footnotes​

Footnote text can include expressions:

{insert $footnote("See " + reference.title + ", page " + reference.page)}*{end}

Multiple Footnotes​

Each footnote is automatically numbered:

First point{insert $footnote("First source")}*{end} and
second point{insert $footnote("Second source")}*{end}.

Produces footnotes numbered 1, 2, etc. at the page bottom.
