Remarks

Smart tags is a kind of custom XML markup. Smart tags provide a facility for embedding customer-defined semantics into the document via the ability to provide a basic namespace/name for a run or set of runs within a document.

SmartTag can be a child of a Paragraph or another SmartTag node.

The complete list of child nodes that can occur inside a smart tag consists of BookmarkStart, BookmarkEnd, FieldStart, FieldSeparator, FieldEnd, FormField, Comment, Footnote, Run, SpecialChar, Shape, GroupShape, CommentRangeStart, CommentRangeEnd, SmartTag.

Examples
Shows how to create smart tags.
public void SmartTags()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    SmartTag smartTag = new SmartTag(doc);
    smartTag.Element = "date";

    // Specify a date and set smart tag properties accordingly
    smartTag.AppendChild(new Run(doc, "May 29, 2019"));

    smartTag.Properties.Add(new CustomXmlProperty("Day", "", "29"));
    smartTag.Properties.Add(new CustomXmlProperty("Month", "", "5"));
    smartTag.Properties.Add(new CustomXmlProperty("Year", "", "2019"));

    // Set the smart tag's uri to the default
    smartTag.Uri = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags";

    doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(smartTag);
    doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(new Run(doc, " is a date. "));

    // Create and add one more smart tag, this time for a financial symbol
    smartTag = new SmartTag(doc);
    smartTag.Element = "stockticker";
    smartTag.Uri = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags";

    smartTag.AppendChild(new Run(doc, "MSFT"));

    doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(smartTag);
    doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(new Run(doc, " is a stock ticker."));
