==What is a web tag? ==
Put simply, a web tag is included in a [[Cumulus template file]] to indicate where Cumulus should insert values when it produces an output file. The concept of [[Customised_templates#What_is_meant_by_.27Cumulus_processes_templates.27|processing templates]] is explained in another article.
==Template files can create many types of file==
The output file can be:
*a [[Xml_webtags|eXtensible Mark-up Language (XML)]] file.
==General Format for Web Tags==
In the position in any template file where Cumulus is to insert the relevant data, place a web tag in the '''general format''' specified here: <pre><#tag_name [optional input selection parameters] [optional output modification parameters]></pre>
To find out what is allowed for '''tag_name''', see the various table on this page.
To find out what is allowed for the input selection parameters and output modification parameters, refer to [[Web_Tag_Parameters|web tag parameters]] page.
