    1111(TODO: sort and check some old and probably imprecise instructions in this section)
    1212
    13  * when selection is empty, If you click on a blank area of the screen you add a new node independent of any existing way.
    14 
    15  * If you select one node and then click on a blank area of the screen you add a new node to the end of the existing way or create a new one.
    16 
    1713 * If no node is previously selected and you click between (or very close to) two nodes in an existing way the new node is added on the existing way, between two existing nodes. If two ways cross, and there currently is no node in common at the junction, and you click near the intersection of the two ways, then the node will be inserted into both ways, which will then share a common point.
    1814
    1915 * If a node is previously selected and you click between two nodes in an existing way the new node is added on the existing way, between two existing nodes, and a way is drawn between the previously selected node and the new node.
    2016
    21  * The drawing stops, if you make a double click when creating the last node or if you click on a node or way segment which is already part of the currently drawn way.
     17=== Create a node ===
    2218
    23  * If you are currently not drawing, then you can select nodes with a double click. If the node is an end node of a line then also the line gets selected.
     19When selection is empty, If you click on a blank area of the screen you add a new node independent of any existing way:
     20
     21[[Image(ex1-empty-selection-click-on-blank.gif,nolink)]]
     22
     23=== Draw a segment ===
     24
     25With empty selection, if you select one node and then click on a blank area of the screen you add a new node and create a new way (with one segment):
     26
     27[[Image(ex1-selected-node-draw-a-segment.gif​,nolink)]]
     28
     29=== Draw tool can be used to select and deselect objects ===
     30
     31* If you are currently not drawing, then you can select node with a left mouse click
     32* If the node is an end node of a line then also the line gets selected (leaf node + way in selection); this will be explained in [#ContinuousDrawing]
     33
     34In demo below, left mouse click was used to select a tool, then clicked 6 times at nodes:
     35
     36[[Image(ex1-click-to-select-a-node-or-exit-drawing-on-leaf-node.gif​,nolink)]]
     37
     38To stop drawing tool, click on selected object (a node) again. This can be done so quickly and some users confuse it with double click. No, you don't need double click:
     39
     40[[Image(ex1-select-deselect-without-double-click.gif,nolink)]]
     41
     42=== Double click stops drawing on leaf node ===
     43
     44Drawing stops, if you make a double click when creating the last node. This way you don't have to select on last node, but you have to know about this special case:
     45
     46[[Image(ex1-double-click.gif,nolink)]]
    2447
    2548=== Continuous drawing ===
    … …  
    3962 * If you click near an existing node it draws a "segment" between what was previously selected and the existing node, and this allows you to re-use existing nodes to make a new way / area (so that certain nodes and "segments" can be reused in more than one way/ area).
    4063
    41 === It will continue selected ways ===
     64=== Left click on drawn way will deselect node and stop mode ===
    4265
     66It doesn't matter if you click on nodes or create a new node in a way:
     67
