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.

create <parent node id> <node id|placeholder>

If the parent node id does not exist an error is returned.

Placeholder example - create new node as child to node 42 and set its title to 'Hello World':

create 42 x; update x title 'Hello World'
