Saving and Loading

Export to HTML

Subdocuments for all footnotes are saved after the main document. Before each subdocument, <a name="footnoteN"></a> is inserted, where N is an index of this footnote (in the list of all numbered sequences, footnotes and endnotes). Footnotes are saved as hyperlinks to this anchor.

RTF

Footnotes can be exported in RTF.

You can set RTFReadProperties.IgnoreNotes to True, and footnotes will not be imported from RTF.

Text

When copying or saving a selected text, footnotes are not included in text. When saving the whole text, they are saved inside [], for example:

This is a text [1 sequence of characters] to show footnotes [2 note of text placed at the bottom of a page].
