No other element is mandatory within the Sense tag. However, definitions are usually
clarified with an example.
Use one of the insertion methods to add an EXAMPLE element to the new sense.
TIP: the EXAMPLE tag can either be inserted as a child element of Sense, or as a
sibling element of DEF.
Moving elements
There are three ways to move elements within the tree view (i.e. within the element node
hierarchy) :
1. Drag and drop the element with your mouse,
2. with buttons on the toolbar:
• select the element you want to move
• click , , or whether you want to move the selected element up, down, to
the left or to the right,
3. with the keyboard, holding CTRL+ARROWS with the desired element selected.
Select any element in the tree view and move it around.
Notice that the name of the entry may become highlighted in orange in the Table of
Content pane. This is a warning, which means that the structure of the entry no longer
meets the structure guidelines.
