fix(dotnet): wrap header text box paragraphs within the box width - #203
Conversation
Header and footer paragraphs were drawn as a single unwrapped line, so long text in a header text box ran past the right page edge and was clipped. - DocxReader: record the text area width (extent minus bodyPr insets) and horizontal offset of column/margin-positioned header text boxes. - DocxToPdfConverter: wrap header/footer paragraphs that exceed the available width, using the text box area when present. Text that fits is still drawn verbatim, so existing output is unchanged.

using the same WordWrap inputs and text-area width as the rendering path, so

area is positioned.

any unbreakable token wider than areaWidth into renderable segments before
returning wrapped lines. Preserve the existing CJK and hyphen break behavior,

EstimateElementsHeight counted one line per header/footer paragraph, so a wrapped footer paragraph was positioned too low and its extra lines were drawn below the page edge. Share the wrap step with the renderer and reserve every wrapped line for in-flow header/footer paragraphs. Floating text-box paragraphs keep the one-line estimate: wrapNone boxes overlay the page and must not push the body down.
Split oversized header/footer lines into text elements and constrain text box rendering to its usable width. Cover an unbreakable header token with a regression test. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

Reviewed the DOCX header text-box change and the follow-up unbreakable-token fix. The new regression fails before the fix and passes after it; all 213 .NET tests pass, and complete classic/issue DOCX visual reports were regenerated. Known below-threshold benchmark cases and the documented page mismatch are not new merge blockers.

If a document has a section-specific footer but no global footer, the bottom-margin adjustment at Line 273 does not run. This call measures the wrapped section footer only after body pagination. A tall footer can then overlap body text. Include the applicable section footers in the margin calculation before laying out the body.

Problem
Long text inside a header text box is rendered by .NET MiniPdf as one unwrapped line per paragraph. The text runs past the right edge of the page and the overflow is clipped. It was found in a real-world registration form whose header carries a multi-paragraph privacy notice. That document contains personal data and is not attached. A synthetic reproduction with fictional text is attached instead.
The notice sits in a
wps:wsptext box inheader2.xml, anchored with:Text paragraphs use 7pt text with
w:spacing w:line="166" w:lineRule="exact". On an A4 page with a 59.55pt left margin, the text area is 529.65pt wide starting at x = 31.0pt. Onmain, the longest paragraph is drawn as a single line starting at the page margin (x = 59.55pt) and runs past the 595.3pt page width.Root cause
Two gaps on the header/footer path, separate from the body text path:
DocxToPdfConverter.RenderHeaderFooterElementsOnPagedraws each header/footer paragraph with a singlepage.AddTextcall and never wraps it. Short headers and footers (page numbers, titles) never exposed this.DocxReader.ReadHeaderFooterElementsextracts paragraphs from anchored header/footer text boxes but drops the box geometry: extent,bodyPrinsets and horizontal offset. Even with wrapping, the renderer has no width to wrap against and no left edge other than the page margin.Falsification check before editing: the new unit test (below) run against

DocxToPdfConverter.RenderHeaderFooterElementsOnPage: a paragraph whose estimated width exceeds the available width is wrapped with the existingWordWrap, using the text box area whenTextBoxWidth > 0and the page margins otherwise. Each line is positioned with the paragraph alignment inside that area. Text that fits is still drawn verbatim as one line. This keeps leading spaces and the existing positions of single-line headers and footers, such as" 1頁"inissue202605, byte-for-byte unchanged.Tests and validation

No existing fixture has an overflowing header text box, so the improvement is shown with the synthetic sample rather than a benchmark score.
An earlier iteration applied the box area to page-relative boxes and wrapped every header/footer paragraph unconditionally. That moved the centred page number in
