=What this article covers =
#At the last count, a 3.5.x version of MX produces ''nine and a half million'' '''web tags'''!
#But the file mentioned in previous section contains just 717 items (later versions of MX raise this count by another forty tags or so).
#How come this discrepancy?
*Well each web tag has the general format <tt><#tag_name optional_input_parameter optional_output_parameter></tt> and it is adding these optional parameters that allow 717 tag names to define 9½ million values!
Consequently, this article describes:
*Over 7 hundred web tags -'''THIS ARTICLE MAY NOT CONTAIN ALL WEB TAGS AVAILABLE IN LATEST VERSION - It depends on someone updating this article if the developer does not have time to do so'''
*A score of input parameters that modify some of those tags
*The components that make up output parameters
** some control number of decimal places
** one controls whether decimal comma appears
**the majority modify the output from almost all web tags that report a time and/or date
*The way that some of those date modifiers are used for naming NOAA reports
==Applicability by version and build==
The tip at the start of this article tells you how to check which tags are available in whatever build of Cumulus you are actually using. Given how often a new release alters either what web tags are available or what parameters can be used with particular web tags, it is not possible for the tables below to
Because Cumulus 2 is no longer available, it has been ignored in the tables below. It never really worked for web page generation, so if you happen to have installed Cumulus 2 from when it was available, you probably don't care which web tags it supports.
