I am using dotnet API client, but the error seems to be on Server, not on Client

Hi @asilyin thanks for the report.

Taking a closer look at your input it seems that the embedded-entry-inline isn't inside a paragraph which isn't supported. Inline elements e.g. hyperlinks, embedded entry inline ..etc must be inside a paragraph element. If you want to have an embedded entry at the root level it has to be of type embedded-entry-block.

So you have two options to fix the issue:

1. Either wrap or move the embedded-entry-inline with/to a paragraph element
2. Change the type to be embedded-entry-block

I hope that helps.
