html doesnt really have footnotes as such you cant convert them to docx automatically.

Thank you for answer ,

I know that hrml doesn't have footnotes , but may be theres command or code can create or convert html to footnotes

if not footnote like docx , i may be html links with refernce and content.

links in html become links in docx automatically

Thank you ,
But if i refer to other part of html ,

PHP Code:


			
<a href="#notes1"> Note 1</a>

long other html here

PHP Code:


			
<p id="notes1">Note 1 text </p>

Does it follow the link in docx too ?

Yes, and that's better than "true" footnotes in Word or LO Writer. With notes inserted by "Insert Footnote", rather than adding a paragraph and linking to and fro with internal links/anchors (Bookmarks in WP), you can accidentally delete the note easily.

yes it does. A link is a link, it doesnt care what part of th etext it is in

There is a work around for creating "real" docx footnotes from html using LibreOffice. LibreOffice is able to turn links into footnotes if they are properly defined/formatted in the html file.

For instance, importing an html file with this code into LibreOffice

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Footnote Test</title>
<meta name="generator" content="LibreOffice 7.5.9.2 (Windows)"/>
<style type="text/css">
@page { size: 21cm 29.7cm; margin: 2cm }
p { line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; background: transparent }
p.sdfootnote { font-size: 10pt; line-height: 100%; margin-left: 0.6cm; text-indent: -0.6cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; background: transparent }
a.sdfootnoteanc { font-size: 57% }
</style>
</head>
<body lang="en-US" link="#000080" vlink="#800000" dir="ltr">

<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; margin-top: 0.42cm; margin-bottom: 0.21cm; page-break-after: avoid"><font face="Liberation Sans, sans-serif"><font size="6" style="font-size: 28pt"><b>Footnote Test</b></font></font></p>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm"><br/></p>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">This is a text followed by a footnote.<a class="sdfootnoteanc" name="sdfootnote1anc" href="#sdfootnote1sym"><sup>1</sup></a></p>

<div id="sdfootnote1">

<p class="sdfootnote"><a class="sdfootnotesym" name="sdfootnote1sym" href="#sdfootnote1anc">1</a>This is a footnote text.</p>

</div>
</body>
</html>

results in "true" footnotes in LibreOffice. This document can then be saved as docx.

I did it once used this formatting with over 100 footnotes and it worked perfectly.
