-It's time to learn the data format for events. Each line in the Editor represents one event. Each line has 7 fields separated by semicolon.
+As you can see there are two kinds of events:
+:continuous, represented by horizontal bars;
+:and momentary events, represented by cards, connected to the timeline with a line.
+There are 7 data fields for each event:

+Some data fields are used by one kind of event but not the other. Others are used by both.
+Let’s go through all of the data fields one by one.
+''Visible text'' - for continuous events try to put short titles here, not whole sentences. You can use ''Comment'' field to put longer text there.
+For momentary events the text can be longer, but don’t put entire articles there. One or two sentences should suffice.
+In the cards you can use some of the features of Wikipedia’s wikitext. For example, to add a link, use double brackets.
+If you want the link title to be different from the page name, specify it after vertical line.
