If you import the sample in General Structured Text Files to build a Topicscape and then re-export it to (Internal) Structured Text, you will see that the file contains a lot more information. Some is guidance for users of the file, some provides more information to Topicscape so that it can, as nearly as possible, rebuild the Topicscape in the same order as it was found when exported.

It also contains information that Topicscape will use on re-importing to avoid the ambiguous "see also" problem that may occur when two topics have the same name.

{-----------WHAT YOU CAN DO TO THIS FILE:   -----------------------------------------
You can safely edit topic names, occurrence names and descriptive text.
You can safely delete topics and occurrences.
You can safely add occurrences.
Please do not change numbers like this: (`15`)  It will cause an error on re-import to Topicscape.
Please ADD topics in Topicscape itself, not in this file, or it will cause an error on re-import.
Please do not change the structural information at the end of the file.
