<hdr> (Header)

This element specifies the content for a single header for use within one or more sections of a WordprocessingML document.

Within the <hdr> element, the content of the element is similar to the content of the <body> (§2.2.2) element, and contains what is referred to as block-level markup - markup which can exist as a sibling element to paragraphs in a WordprocessingML document.

example:

This document defines one header with the text Header. The header's contents is stored in a unique Header part. The resulting header is represented by the following WordprocessingML: 

<w:hdr>
  <w:p>
    <w:r>
      <w:t>Header</w:t>
    </w:r>
  </w:p>
</w:hdr>

Since headers are containers of block level contents, all block level elements can be used within them. In this particular example, the content is a single paragraph. ]

example:

This document defines three headers stored in three different header parts. The resulting headers are represented by the following WordprocessingML:

First page header part:

<w:hdr>
  <w:p>
    <w:r>
      <w:t>First</w:t>
    </w:r>
  </w:p>
</w:hdr>

Even page header part:

<w:hdr>
  <w:p>
    <w:r>
      <w:t>Even</w:t>
    </w:r>
  </w:p>
</w:hdr>

Odd page header part:

<w:hdr>
  <w:p>
    <w:r>
      <w:t>Odd</w:t>
    </w:r>
  </w:p>
</w:hdr>
