It turns out, "git grep" does not go into submodules :-|

I was doing:

$ git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source'
$ git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source' -- helpcontent2/

This got me going:

$ cd helpcontent2 && git grep -i 'allows you to assign a data source'


Are the identifiers like id="par_id3154206" essentially random (and I
can just put other random ones for new paragraphs), or do they have
some hidden meaning (and then please explain me how to generate the id
for a paragraph I'm adding).

Thanks in advance,
