Examples of all CNXML tagsWhen working in Edit-in-Place, notice that the first item of the "Add Here" drop-down menu is "Paragraph". When you select this item and click Add Here, a text box will appear. You can now insert text in the white box, including inline tags. Note the id="element-143" in the upper left hand part of the blue box in Figure 1.
element-143 is the paragraph's unique ID, which you can use to refer to the paragraph directly using a link tag. Also, you can find some helpful tips in the upper right-hand corner of the blue box: "Help editing <para>".

Example 1: Submitted by J. Cameron Cooper
<para id='intro'>
Working on trees or bushes can generate a lot of limbs and
branches to haul away. If you just carry them, it'll take
all day. Instead, make a sledge.
</para>
<para id="intro2">
Find a large, complex branch to make the base of your
sledge. It should be relatively flat, and broad and long
enough to make a decent pile; that is, as big or bigger than
anything else you need to haul away. Green branches from
hardwoods are best. Place it with the cut end pointing the
way you want to go. If no single branch is good enough, two
can be used. Just place their cut ends a couple feet apart.
</para>
<para id="intro3">
Then pile on the remaining branches. Most will naturally
weave together; if not, give 'em a little help. Once the
pile it a few layers deep, smaller waste, like weeds or
maybe even leaves can be added to the pile. If it gets
unstable, another big branch will help.
</para>
<para id="intro4">
When you're done, grab the cut end of the bottom branch,
and maybe the base of one of the other big branches in the
pile, and drag the thing where you want to go. You'll be
surprised how much one person can drag!
</para>
<para id="intro5">
If you have a lot of leaves or similar small stuff to move,
you can use a similar technique. Get a tarp, toss the leaves
and weeds and whatnot in the middle, and then drag the whole
thing away.
