# Footnotes

The Export to Word converter supports documents containing CKEditor 5 Footnotes. Editor footnotes are converted to Word endnotes and placed at the end of the document.

<a id="supported-html">

## Supported HTML

* Note references are represented by `<sup class="footnote"><a href="#${id}"></a></sup>`, where `${id}` is the note’s ID.
* The note list is represented by an `<ol class="footnotes-list"></ol>` element and must be wrapped in a `<div class="footnotes"></div>` container. The list must be the last child of the container.
* Each note is represented by an `<li class="footnote-definition" id="${id}">` element, where `${id}` is the note’s ID. Notes must be direct children of the note list.
* Note content must be wrapped in a `<div class="footnote-content"></div>` element. This wrapper must be the last child of the note’s list item.
* The note list may optionally define the starting value using the `start` attribute and the numbering style using the `list-style-type` CSS property.
* Notes might contain both block-level and inline content.

Example HTML exported by the converter:

```html
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.<sup class="footnote" id="ref-footnote-0"><a href="#footnote-0">i</a></sup></p>
<div class="footnotes">
	<hr class="footnotes-divider">
	<ol class="footnotes-list" style="list-style-type: lower-roman">
		<li class="footnote-definition" id="footnote-0">
			<a class="footnote-backlink" href="#ref-footnote-0">^</a>
			<div class="footnote-content">
				<p>Endnote content</p>
			</div>
		</li>
	</ol>
</div>
```

## Limitations

* The type and placement of notes is currently not configurable.
* Backlinks and other editor-only UI helpers are omitted.
* Notes whose content starts with a list have their reference mark rendered inside the list.
