# Strip numPr Before Inserting Manual Numbering (2026-07-01) ## Problem When adding manual numbering (e.g. "第一条 ") as `w:ins` at the beginning of a paragraph that already has `` (automatic numbering like "%1." decimal format), OnlyOffice renders BOTH: - The automatic number: "1." - The manual INS text: "第一条" Result: "1. 第一条 乙方应严格按照..." ## Root Cause `` in pPr tells the rendering engine to prepend an auto-generated number. The `w:ins` text is just another run in the paragraph — it doesn't suppress the auto-numbering. Additionally, `` records the pre-revision pPr state. If pPrChange still contains ``, some renderers will show the old numbering in markup view. ## Affected Scenarios 1. **反委托代发工资协议 (2026-07-01)**: Original paragraphs P6-P12, P19 had `numId=1` or `numId=3` (decimal "%1." format). After adding "第一条" through "第十一条" as INS, OnlyOffice showed "1. 第一条", "2. 第二条", etc. 2. **Any contract where the original used auto-numbering**: Check `numbering.xml` for active numId references with `numFmt=decimal` or `numFmt=chineseCounting`. ## Fix Pattern ```python import zipfile from lxml import etree WNS = '{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}' with zipfile.ZipFile(docx_path, 'r') as z: all_files = {name: z.read(name) for name in z.namelist()} doc = etree.fromstring(all_files['word/document.xml']) body = doc.find(f'{WNS}body') paras = body.findall(f'{WNS}p') # Identify paragraphs where we added manual numbering INS # These are paragraphs that have both: # 1. A w:ins with author=WB containing "第X条" text # 2. A pPr with numPr for i, p in enumerate(paras): ppr = p.find(f'{WNS}pPr') if ppr is None: continue # Check if this paragraph has our manual numbering INS has_manual_numbering = False for child in p: tag = child.tag.split('}')[-1] if '}' in child.tag else child.tag if tag == 'ins' and child.get(f'{WNS}author') == 'WB': text = ''.join(t.text for t in child.iter(f'{WNS}t') if t.text) if '第' in text and '条' in text: has_manual_numbering = True break if not has_manual_numbering: continue # Strip numPr from pPr num_pr = ppr.find(f'{WNS}numPr') if num_pr is not None: ppr.remove(num_pr) print(f"P{i}: Stripped numPr from pPr") # Strip numPr from pPrChange ppc = ppr.find(f'{WNS}pPrChange') if ppc is not None: inner_ppr = ppc.find(f'{WNS}pPr') if inner_ppr is not None: inner_num = inner_ppr.find(f'{WNS}numPr') if inner_num is not None: inner_ppr.remove(inner_num) print(f"P{i}: Stripped numPr from pPrChange") # Save back all_files['word/document.xml'] = etree.tostring(doc, xml_declaration=True, encoding='UTF-8', standalone=True) # Write to temp file then replace (never write to same zip you're reading) ``` ## Verification After stripping, render with OnlyOffice and confirm: 1. Markup view shows only the manual numbering (no "1." prefix) 2. Accepted-revisions view shows clean "第一条" through "第十一条" 3. python-docx can still open the file without errors ## Edge Cases - **DEL-only empty paragraphs** (e.g. P8, P9 where all content is w:del): These may still have numPr. If they render a visible "3." or "4." in the gap, strip those too. - **Cross-paragraph clauses** (P6+P7 = one clause): P7 may have its own independent numPr even though it's a continuation paragraph. Strip it. - **numId=0 (disabled numbering)**: `numId=0` in OOXML means "numbering OFF" — it doesn't render anything. Only strip numPr where `numId > 0` and the corresponding abstractNum has a visible numFmt (decimal, chineseCounting, etc.).
