Not sure how that happened, since I do show the indenting correctly in the notepad screenshot, yet somehow managed to lose the tab in the clip at the top of the article. Whoops! For the record, I've updated the excerpt at the top of this article to have the proper indenting. @Guido: Good catch, thanks.

For example, importing the following: <code> Animal   {animals}   Bird     [North American]       Red-Shouldered Hawk       {Buteo lineatus}       Bald Eagle       {Haliaeetus leucocephalus} </code> and re-exporting results in <code> Animal   {animals}   Bird     [North American]       {Buteo lineatus}       {Haliaeetus leucocephalus}       Red-Shouldered Hawk       Bald Eagle </code> and assigning the tag "Bald Eagle" attaches both "Buteo lineatus" and "Haliaeetus leucocephalus" as tags to the image on export - which is not what you want. The strategy is to make the scientific name the child of the common name, as follows: <code> Animal   {animals}   Bird     [North American]       Red-Shouldered Hawk         {Buteo lineatus}       Bald Eagle         {Haliaeetus leucocephalus} </code> That way the tagging is correct, and Bald Eagle tag receives the scientific name as expected, as well as "Bird" and "Animal". After following this tutorial I thankfully discovered this problem early enough before I had tagged too many images - as the taxonomic tree I created is quite large and required a few hours of rework to get "right" again! Thanks, Guido Good day:
Doing the following:

Animal
  {animals}
  Bird
    [North American]
      Red-Shouldered Hawk
      {Buteo lineatus}

specifically, the last two lines, is not ideal: it places the common name and the scientific name on an equal level, which causes hassles when having several birds below each other. For example, importing the following:

Animal
  {animals}
  Bird
    [North American]
      Red-Shouldered Hawk
      {Buteo lineatus}
      Bald Eagle
      {Haliaeetus leucocephalus}

and re-exporting results in

Animal
  {animals}
  Bird
    [North American]
      {Buteo lineatus}
      {Haliaeetus leucocephalus}
      Red-Shouldered Hawk
      Bald Eagle

and assigning the tag “Bald Eagle” attaches both “Buteo lineatus” and “Haliaeetus leucocephalus” as tags to the image on export – which is not what you want. The strategy is to make the scientific name the child of the common name, as follows:

Animal
  {animals}
  Bird
    [North American]

        {Buteo lineatus}
      Bald Eagle
        {Haliaeetus leucocephalus}

That way the tagging is correct, and Bald Eagle tag receives the scientific name as expected, as well as “Bird” and “Animal”.
