== General Format for Web Tags == | |||
Before using the Webtags, the user must be aware of the formatting. | |||
In the position, in any file to be processed, SQL, or HTTP POST call, where Cumulus is to insert the relevant data, place a web tag in the '''general format''' specified here: | |||
<code><#tag_name [optional input selection parameters] [optional output modification parameters]></code> | |||
Only the [[Cumulus_MX_Local_API#General_API_-_HTTP_GET|GET method]] has another format and does not accept modifiers. | |||
The terminology "optional" is used because some tag names do not accept any parameters, but there are some tag names where a parameter is mandatory. Therefore, check the [[Webtags/Parameters|web tag parameters]] page to learn whether a webtag name requires a mandatory parameter, or to find out which parameters are optionally available. | |||
There is a basic guide to what these parameters can do, and another link to the new page at [[#Input Modification Parameters and Output Modification Parameters]] later on this page. | |||
