Also, relying on Augeas users to do this just to insert a line break, which is required for a valid configuration file, is ugly and error prone. This workaround still may be used to add additional empty lines to a configuration file just to improve readability (where they don't break anything), so still a useful lesson. Though for my custom lens, I have decided to look for and create empty lines by default, as with any string literal. This way, the Augeas tree doesn't need to feature empty nodes and empty lines will be added in put direction automatically.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Thank you again for your time,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Xavier.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=DE style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=DE style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> augeas-devel-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:augeas-devel-bounces@redhat.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Mol, Xavier (SCC)<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, December 22, 2015 10:27 AM<br><b>To:</b> Raphaël Pinson<br><b>Cc:</b> augeas-devel@redhat.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [augeas-devel] How to insert empty nodes in Augeas trees?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Hi Raphael,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>thank you again for your quick and helpful reply!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Ciao,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Xavier.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=DE style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=DE style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Raphaël Pinson [<a href="mailto:raphael.pinson@camptocamp.com">mailto:raphael.pinson@camptocamp.com</a>] <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, December 22, 2015 10:25 AM<br><b>To:</b> Mol, Xavier (SCC)<br><b>Cc:</b> <a href="mailto:augeas-devel@redhat.com">augeas-devel@redhat.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [augeas-devel] How to insert empty nodes in Augeas trees?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Hello Xavier,<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I was going to say that was not possible, but I actually (to my great surprise) found a way to do it:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal> augtool> touch /files/etc/fstab/01<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> augtool> rename /files/etc/fstab/01 ""<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> rename : /files/etc/fstab/01 to 1<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> augtool> save<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> Saved 1 file(s)<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Just added an empty line at the end of /etc/fstab<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Raphaël<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 10:06 AM, Mol, Xavier (SCC) <<a href="mailto:xavier.mol@kit.edu" target="_blank">xavier.mol@kit.edu</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hello Augeas experts,<br><br>is there a way to insert empty nodes in an Augeas tree?
