Inside <notes> additional information, for example remarks (text), links to photos, audio files, and video files can be given.
Elements inside <notes> are: <audio>, <video>, <image>, and <text>. The first three elements can appear any times, but <text> may appear only once. If text shall be formatted, <para> must be used inside <text>. If images, audio, and video files are to be formatted inside the text, the <text> must be given as the last statement inside <notes>.
For future versions of UDDF it is desirable to incorporate a <docbook> element inside <text> for enhanced formatting capabilities.

<!-- In this first example it's the job of the executing program to format and display -->
<!-- the information given inside <notes> (i.e. formatting of the text, ordering -->
<!-- of the text and other media files etc.) -->
<notes>
<text>
<para>
This is text in-between the text element. Using this, it's not possible
to further format the text. The executing program formats the text.

<para>
This is a first paragraph of a logbook entry.
</para>
<!-- between the first two paragraphs this image shall be inserted... -->
<imageref ref="a-picture"/>
<!-- ... and also this .wav file -->
<audioref ref="audiodata_1"/>
<para>
This is the second paragraph. Before it the executing program inserts the
image "image_2.jpg" (with id "a-picture"), and the audio file
"my_diving-jubilee-talk.wav" (with id "audiodata_1").
</para>
<!-- now the video shall be inserted before the third paragraph -->
<videoref ref="video_1"/>
<para>
This is the third paragraph. In this manner it's possible the easy way to
format logbook entries in UDDF!
