Content Type:

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.footnotes+xml

Root Namespace:

An instance of this part type contains all the footnotes for the document.

A package shall contain no more than two Footnotes parts. If it exists, one instance of that part shall be the target of an implicit relationship from the Main Document (§11.3.10) part, and the other shall be the target of an implicit relationship from the Glossary Document (§11.3.8) part.

example:
<Relationships xmlns="…">
  <Relationship Id="rId5"
    Type="http://…/footnotes" Target="footnotes.xml"/>
</Relationships>

The root element for a Footnotes part shall be <footnotes>.

example:
<w:footnotes xmlns:w="…" …>
  <w:footnote …>
    
  </w:footnote>
  <w:footnote …>
    
  </w:footnote>
</w:footnotes>

The XML markup for a footnote in a Main Document part involves the <footnoteReference> element.

example:
<w:p …>
  
  <w:r>
    <w:t>... in the Standard.</w:t>
  </w:r>
  <w:r>
    <w:rPr>
      <w:rStyle w:val="FootnoteReference"/>
    </w:rPr>
    <w:footnoteReference w:id="5"/>
  </w:r>
</w:p>

Each footnote has a corresponding <footnote> element in the Footnotes part, which contains the text of the footnote and the <footnoteRef> element.

example:
<w:footnotes xmlns:w="…"
  <w:footnote w:id="5">
    <w:p>
      <w:r>
        <w:rPr>
          <w:rStyle w:val="FootnoteReference"/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:footnoteRef/>
      </w:r>
      <w:r>
        <w:t xml:space="preserve">This can be downloaded from </w:t>
      </w:r>
      <w:hyperlink r:id="rId2" w:history="1">
        <w:r>
          <w:rPr>
            <w:rStyle w:val="Hyperlink"/>
          </w:rPr>
          <w:t>http://www.aabbcc.com/index.html</w:t>
        </w:r>
      </w:hyperlink>
      <w:r>
        <w:t>.</w:t>
      </w:r>
    </w:p>
  </w:footnote>
</w:footnotes>
