Fixes #3478.

Summary

Every Bookmark in a document is written with w:id="1", so multiple bookmarks collide. This allocates bookmark ids per document, so each one gets a distinct id and its start and end markers agree.

Why

w:id on CT_Markup is ST_DecimalNumber and is required to identify the markup uniquely (ooxml-schemas/ISO-IEC29500-4_2016/wml.xsd:843-845). When ids repeat, w:bookmarkStart and w:bookmarkEnd pairing is ambiguous, and Word cannot reliably resolve a PageReference or an internal hyperlink to the intended target.

A document with three bookmarks, before:

<w:bookmarkStart w:name="AnchorA" w:id="1"/> ... <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="1"/>
<w:bookmarkStart w:name="AnchorB" w:id="1"/> ... <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="1"/>
<w:bookmarkStart w:name="AnchorC" w:id="1"/> ... <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="1"/>

After:

<w:bookmarkStart w:name="AnchorA" w:id="1"/> ... <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="1"/>
<w:bookmarkStart w:name="AnchorB" w:id="2"/> ... <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="2"/>
<w:bookmarkStart w:name="AnchorC" w:id="3"/> ... <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="3"/>

Root cause

bookmarkUniqueNumericIdGen() returns a counter starting at 1, and Bookmark held one per instance:

private readonly bookmarkUniqueNumericId = bookmarkUniqueNumericIdGen();
// ...
const linkId = this.bookmarkUniqueNumericId();

Each instance calls its own counter exactly once, so every bookmark gets 1.

Container types avoid this by sharing a generator across their children. Numbering holds abstractNumUniqueNumericIdGen() on the single instance that owns all its children, so those ids increment. Bookmark has no owning container: it is constructed directly by the caller, before it belongs to a document, so there is nothing to hold a shared counter.

What changed

Ids are resolved during serialization instead of construction, when the document is known.

New BookmarkIds (src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark-ids.ts)

Maps a bookmark name to its numeric id, allocating on first use. One instance per File, so numbering restarts at 1 for every document.

File

Gains a BookmarkIds getter, alongside Media and Numbering.

BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd

Both now build their attributes in prepForXml and read the id from context.file.BookmarkIds, following the same pattern as ImageRun with context.file.Media.addImage (image-run.ts:192) and paragraph properties with context.file.Numbering (properties.ts:413).

Both still accept an explicit id, so existing callers keep working:

new BookmarkStart("myBookmark"); // resolved per document
new BookmarkStart("myBookmark", 1); // explicit
new BookmarkEnd("myBookmark"); // resolved per document
new BookmarkEnd(1); // explicit

BookmarkStart's second parameter became optional and BookmarkEnd now also accepts a name, so both are additive. IBookmarkOptions and the emitted XML structure are unchanged.

Explicit ids are reserved

An explicit id is recorded in the registry, so an allocated id never lands on one that a caller chose:

new BookmarkStart("fixed", 1); // emits 1
new Bookmark({ id: "other", ... }); // emits 2, not 1

Without that, the explicit path reintroduced the very collision this PR fixes.

One case is still the caller's responsibility, and it is worth being explicit about. If an id is allocated first and a caller then asks for that same number later in the same document, the explicit one is emitted as given and the two collide:

new Bookmark({ id: "first", ... }); // allocates 1
new BookmarkStart("second", 1); // also emits 1

Reserving cannot help here, because the first id is already written by the time the second is serialized. Closing it properly means collecting explicit ids in a pass over the document before any implicit allocation happens, which changes when ids are resolved and felt like more than this fix should carry. Happy to add that if you would prefer it in the same PR, and I have left the behaviour documented on reserve in the meantime.

Throwing on the conflict was the other option. I left it out because failing a serialization over an id the caller explicitly asked for seemed worse than honouring it, and it would change behaviour for anyone already passing explicit ids.

Choosing per document rather than a module-level counter keeps output reproducible: the same input produces the same bytes, whichever documents were generated before it in the same process.

Files touched

  • src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark-ids.ts: new registry
  • src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark.ts: deferred id resolution
  • src/file/file.ts: BookmarkIds field and getter

Tests

New src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark-ids.spec.ts covers allocation order, reuse for the same name, and a fresh instance restarting at 1.

src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark.spec.ts gains coverage of the emitted XML: distinct ids across bookmarks in one document, start and end pairing, numbering restarting per document, and an explicitly supplied id being kept. should give each bookmark in a document a distinct id is the regression test, and on main it fails with expected [ 1, 1, 1 ] to deeply equal [ 1, 2, 3 ].

Two existing tests needed updating, which is worth flagging rather than leaving to be found in review.

bookmark.spec.ts asserted through Utility.jsonify, which does not run prepForXml, so it no longer sees attributes that are built there. Those assertions now go through Formatter with a context, which is also closer to the guidance about testing XML output.

paragraph.spec.ts's it should add bookmark stubbed the generator with vi.spyOn(convenienceFunctions, "bookmarkUniqueNumericIdGen") and asserted w:id: -101. Ids no longer come from that function at construction time, so the stub cannot intercept. It now passes a context carrying a BookmarkIds and asserts w:id: 1, in the same style as the existing ImageRun tests that stub context.file.Media.

Verification

  • npx vitest run: 197 files, 1040 tests, all passing (1032 before).
  • npx tsc --noEmit, npm run lint, npm run prettier and npm run build are all clean.
  • Generated three documents in one process through Packer.toBuffer and read word/document.xml back. Each starts at 1, ids are distinct within a document, and every bookmarkEnd matches its bookmarkStart.

Note

DocProperties holds docPropertiesUniqueNumericIdGen() as an instance field in the same shape (src/file/drawing/doc-properties/doc-properties.ts:68). If one is constructed per drawing rather than once per document, it will collide the same way. I have not verified that and have kept it out of this change, but it may be worth a look.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic numeric ID assignment for bookmarks within each document.
    • Ensured matching bookmark start and end markers share the same ID.
    • Added support for explicitly assigned bookmark IDs.
    • Added access to bookmark ID management through file documents.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented reserved or explicitly assigned IDs from being reused.
    • Preserved stable IDs for repeated bookmark names.
    • Bookmark numbering now resets correctly for each document.
    • Preserved bookmark content and relationships during document formatting.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a document-scoped BookmarkIds allocator. Bookmark markers resolve names through this allocator during XML preparation. Explicit IDs are reserved, and tests verify unique matching IDs, reserved-ID handling, per-document resets, and child preservation.

Changes

Bookmark ID allocation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document-local allocator and File exposure
src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark-ids.ts, src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark-ids.spec.ts, src/file/file.ts
BookmarkIds assigns the lowest unused positive ID, reuses IDs for repeated names, skips reserved IDs, and is stored and exposed by File.
Bookmark marker ID resolution
src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark.ts
BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd resolve bookmark names through the document allocator during XML preparation. Explicit numeric IDs remain supported and are reserved.
Bookmark formatting validation
src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark.spec.ts, src/file/paragraph/paragraph.spec.ts, src/file/file.spec.ts
Tests validate matching IDs, distinct IDs within a document, reserved and explicit IDs, document-local resets, child preservation, and the File.BookmarkIds getter.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 31129

Explicit bookmark IDs can collide with automatically assigned IDs in the same document, potentially causing incorrect bookmark, page-reference, or internal-link resolution. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Reserve explicit IDs in the document registry.

Line 42 allocates from ids.size only. If BookmarkStart("fixed", 1) is formatted, BookmarkStart.prepForXml in src/file/paragraph/links/bookmark.ts at Line 125 emits 1 without updating this registry. A later implicit bookmark then also receives 1.
