# Split-Run Numbering in docx XML
|
|
|
|
## Problem
|
|
Contract numbering like `(5)` is often split across multiple `<w:r>` runs in the XML:
|
|
```xml
|
|
<w:r><w:t>(</w:t></w:r>
|
|
<w:r><w:t>5</w:t></w:r>
|
|
<w:r><w:t>)委托方</w:t></w:r>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A naive `tracked_replace("(5)", "(6)")` searching for the complete string in a single `<w:t>` will **silently fail** — no match, no error, no renumbering.
|
|
|
|
## Solution: Multi-run concatenation + split
|
|
|
|
### Algorithm
|
|
```python
|
|
def tracked_replace_split_number(p, old_num, new_num):
|
|
"""Handle (old_num) spread across multiple runs."""
|
|
target = f'({old_num})'
|
|
new_target = f'({new_num})'
|
|
|
|
# 1. Collect all plain runs (not inside w:ins or w:del)
|
|
plain_runs = [(index, run, text) for each child of p]
|
|
|
|
# 2. Slide a window: concatenate adjacent run texts until target is found
|
|
for start in range(len(plain_runs)):
|
|
concat = ""
|
|
for end in range(start, start+4): # max 4 runs for a number
|
|
concat += plain_runs[end].text
|
|
if target in concat:
|
|
# Found! Extract before/after text around the number
|
|
runs_to_wrap = plain_runs[start:end+1]
|
|
# ...proceed to replace
|
|
|
|
# 3. Remove original runs, insert:
|
|
# - [before_run if text before number]
|
|
# - DEL element with delText=target
|
|
# - INS element with t=new_target
|
|
# - [after_run if text after number, e.g. "委托方"]
|
|
|
|
# 4. Set rsid attributes: rsidDel on DEL runs, rsidR on INS runs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Critical: Process order
|
|
**Always renumber from bottom to top** (last paragraph first) to avoid index shifting:
|
|
```python
|
|
# CORRECT
|
|
renumber = [(P113, '10', '11'), (P112, '9', '10'), (P111, '7', '8')]
|
|
|
|
# WRONG - P112 was already renumbered when we get to it
|
|
renumber = [(P111, '7', '8'), (P112, '9', '10'), (P113, '10', '11')]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Edge cases encountered (2026-06-08)
|
|
- `(` + `10)` (two runs, not three) — the closing `)` merged with the digit
|
|
- `(` + `5` + `)委托方` — closing `)` merged with following text, must split run to preserve "委托方"
|
|
- Copy `w:rPr` from original runs to all new DEL/INS runs to preserve font/size
|
|
|
|
## Lesson
|
|
This was the root cause of a terminal review failure where 3 new clauses were inserted without numbering, and subsequent numbering was not renumbered. The `tracked_replace` function matched nothing because it expected `(5)` as a single text node.
