<footnote> (Special Footnote List)

This element specifies the ID for all footnotes which are located in the current document that are not of type normal. Each other type of footnote shall be referenced in this list, or it shall not be loaded. This means that if a special footnote is not listed beneath this element, and it is required by the document content, then the document shall be considered non-conformant.

example: 
<w:footnotes>
  <w:footnote w:type="separator" w:id="0">
    ...
  </w:footnote>
  <w:footnote w:type="continuationSeparator" w:id="1">
    ...
  </w:footnote >
  <w:footnote w:id="2">
    ...
  </w:footnote>
</w:footnotes>

Each of the footnotes which are not of type normal must be specified in the <footnotePr> element, as follows:

<w:footnotePr>
  <w:footnote w:id="0" />
  <w:footnote w:id="1" />
</w:footnotePr>

This indicates to the consumer that the footnotes with an @id attribute value of 0 and 1 are special footnotes, and should be treated accordingly. ]

Description

<id> (Footnote/Endnote ID)

Specifies a unique ID which shall be used to match the contents of a footnote or endnote to the associated footnote/endnote reference mark in the document using the <footnoteRef> or <endnoteRef> element, as appropriate.

If more than one footnote shares the same ID, then this document shall be considered non-conformant. If more than one endnote shares the same ID, then this document shall be considered non-conformant.

<w:footnotes>
  <w:footnote w:type="normal" w:id="0">
    …
  </w:footnote>
  …
</w:footnotes>

The contents of this footnote are associated with the <footnoteReference> with a matching ID, as follows:

<w:p>
  <w:r>
    <w:footnoteReference w:id="0" />
  </w:r>
</w:p>

The resulting paragraph will have a footnote reference mark which references the footnote number value of the footnote with an @id of 0. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_DecimalNumber simple type (§2.18.16).
