Editing Writing PDA Nodes (section)

=== Basic Node Composition ===
You start by composing a node with datapad pda compose <title>. Then you'll want to open your outbox to get the node's number, just for later reference.
 ''datapad pda compose Sample Note''
 You have composed a new document. Check your OUTBOX to see it.
 
 ''datapad pda outbox''
 
 Outbox for Sample-Account (Person) [#3616]
 SampleNote (Note) [#4661] on 2176-03-07 08:57:44
Once the note's created, you're able to add text to it, line by line. The basic command for adding text is '''''datapad pda append text <text>'''''- it'll automatically add the line to the last node you had opened. 

'''''Datapad pda append text''''' without any added words will give you a blank line, which helps a lot for readability.

So how would we write a basic node?
 ''datapad pda append text This is my first line of a node.
 ''datapad pda append text
 datapad pda append text It doesn't have to be anything fancy, you see.''
What would this look like?
 ''datapad pda open 4661''
 
 SampleNote (Note) [#4661]
 (0) This is my first line of a node.
 (1) 
 (2) It doesn't have to be anything fancy, you see.
Voila! It really can be that simple. 

But in reality you're likely going to need more than three lines. It's easy to mess up when entering things line by line, so you may need to tidy things up. A few helpful commands:

'''''datapad pda replace <line number> text <new text>''''' - Replaces the original line with this new line.

'''''datapad pda insert <line number> text <new text>''''' - Puts a new line in directly BELOW the specified line.

'''''datapad pda swap <line #1 number> <line #2 number>''''' - Swaps the order of two lines.
