 ======Create New Node======
-This command creates a new node in a specified parent. the node id can either be set explicitly or a placeholder variable can be used, which can then in the same command string be used, instead of node id, in other commands.
+This command creates a new node in a specified parent. the node id can either be set explicitly or a placeholder variable can be used, which can then in the same command string be used, instead of node id, in commands after the create command.
 <code>
-create <node id|placeholder> <parent node id>
+create <node id|placeholder> <parent node id> <before id>
 </code>
 If the ''parent node id'' does not exist an [[cmd:s_error|error]] is returned.
-Placeholder example - create new node as child to node 42 and set its title to 'Hello World':
+The node will be inserted in the child list of the parent, before the ''before id''. It can be -1, meaning "insert last".
+Placeholder example - create new node as child of node 2 and set its title to "Helo", and then "Hello":
+<code>
+create x 2 -1; update x title "Helo"; update x title "Hello"
+</code>
+Multiple placeholders example - create two new nodes as children of node 2 and set their titles to "Hello1", and then "Hello2":
 <code>
-create x1 42; create x2 42; update x1 title 'Hello World';  update x2 title 'Another Hello World'
+create x 2 -1; create y 2 -1; update x title "Hello1"; update y title "Hello2"
 </code>
