 ## Common Patterns
 
-### Scalar-Only Formats
-Some formats only work with scalars (like base64, uri):
-```go
-if node.guessTagFromCustomType() != "!!str" {
-    return fmt.Errorf("cannot encode %v as <format>, can only operate on strings", node.Tag)
-}
-```
-
 ### Format with Indentation
 Use preferences to control output formatting:
