Webtags/Parameters (preserving history): Difference between revisions

There are nearly a thousand different tag names.
 
There are a few tag names labelled as being fixed format, obviouslythat they cannot takemeans any time/date output modifiers you might try would be ignored.
 
TimeSome modifierstag names, although it can be usedhard to changetell thewhich, way thatreport durations. areYou reported,can foruse tagtime namesmodifiers thatto reportchange durationshow insteadthese ofare clock timesreported. Examples include '''<#daylength format=H:mm:ss>''' and '''<#MonthDailyRainHD format=H:mm>'''. The [[webtags]] page clearly identifies those tag names that report clock times, but it is left to you to work out where durations are reported.
 
Time modifiers can also be used to change the way that clock times are reported, you might only want the hour, or you might (if resolution is available) want to also see seconds. The [[webtags]] page has columns headed "Time" to clearly identify all tag names that report clock times.
 
There are some tag names (e.g. moon rise) that relate to an event that does not happen each Earth day, so those tags have to be able to report "--:--", and you cannot modify their output.
 
There are some tags (e.g. highest temperature range in month/year), for which Cumulus has been coded to report "--" for value, and "--:--" for time, on the first day of that period (because there is only a partial day to consider you might not yet have experienced a true maximum and a true minimum), so modifying theirthe time output can only be done on subsequent days.
 
It is not possible herepractical to list each of these tag names, and indicate which time/date modifiers are accepted on a tag by tag basis. IIt didwould consider addinginvolve a columnlot for that purpose to each table on the [[webtags]] page, but decided those were complicatedof enoughrepetition. Instead, the following table, explains much more simply, which web tags will accept time and/or date output modifiers:
