Headers and footers in Word docs

[mnelson4]

Looks like I might not need a separate header file etc. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13340216/html-generated-microsoft-word-document-with-header-footer-and-watermark

Or maybe not: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13340216/html-generated-microsoft-word-document-with-header-footer-and-watermark

Using that technique kinda works, but the HTML is really confusing (requires a table and some extra divs). But now I'm trying to generate a more complex HTML header but getting errors...

The word doc won't display my hacked-in-images. I think I should instead:

• [x] in an experimental branch
• [x] add simple field for header and footer to the design template
• [x] make sure images placed in there are visible in the word doc
• [x] make sure the headers don't disappear when saving as docx
• [x] then try copying the more complex HTML into those fields and see if it appears
• [x] have header or footer reach to the end of the page
• [x] have header only appear on first page (I supposed mso-first-header: ID would work but didn't; may need to monkey with sections like provided template does)
• [ ] maybe have options for "first page header", "subsequent headers", and background image;
• [ ] switch those fields to be WYSIWYG or block editors: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_editor/ and https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/platform/custom-block-editor/tutorial/
