Docx bookmarks get string ids when converting from Html

[oyms]

The bookmarkStart gets a string as id, when valid values are of type w:ST_DecimalNumber.
This causes problems downstream when handling the document in other parsers. Word will open the file, though.

<w:bookmarkStart w:id="test-av-nummerering" w:name="test-av-nummerering" />
    <w:p>
      <w:pPr>
        <w:pStyle w:val="Heading1" />
      </w:pPr>
      <w:r>
        <w:t xml:space="preserve">Test av nummerering</w:t>
      </w:r>
    </w:p>
 <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="test-av-nummerering" />

Probably a dumb question: Presumably the w:id fields on w:bookmarkStart
have to have unique values. Do they need to be unique with respect to
all of the other w:id fields in the document, or is it enough if no
two w:bookmarkStart elements have the same w:id?

Also, does it matter what numbers are used? (e.g. for ordering?) Or could I just assign numbers based on the anchor name?

This documentation states that the id is to be unique for all annotations in the document. Annotations are element in the "http://schemas.microsoft.com/aml/2001/core" namespace. I do not think the numbers are used in any ordering, but it seems that they are presumed by some framework to be integers.

Sounds as if I could simply convert the alphanumeric ID to an integer,
e.g. by concatenating decimal representations of each character. Do you
happen to know if there is a limit on the size of integers they allow?

I don't know for sure, but I would guess 32 bit.
