Almost all of the [[Webtags|web tags for all Cumulus flavours]] from Cumulus 1 are supported in Cumulus MX, the major differences are [[BETA_webtags|discussed here]].
Almost all of the [[Webtags|web tags for all Cumulus flavours on this Wiki page]] that you may have been used to from using Cumulus 1 are also supported in Cumulus MX, later MX versions support even more than earlier versions (see below), the major differences between Cumulus 1 and MX are [[BETA_webtags|discussed here]] for individual web tags.
 
 
== All builds of MX ==
The ''''format' parameter''' on the date/time output modifier for web tags is unfortunately different, because many of the characters used are different. See the above referenced web tags for all flavours page of this Wiki.
 
Note that this difference in date/time modifiers also affects how you specify the '''NOAA report''' file names. For example in Cumulus 1 you can specify a 2 digit month number by either 'mm' or 'MM', but MX (later versions) has to change the former to the latter as MX uses 'mm' for minutes. The same applies to using 'mmm' or 'MMM' for 3 letter month abbreviation in Cumulus 1, only the latter works in MX, so MX (later versions) will adjust that. If you are using an older MX version, you should upgrade to latest as you are missing a lot of functionality, but while you use that old version, ensure that your file names for NOAA reports do use the correct modifiers for MX.

Note that this also applies to the '''NOAA report file formats'''.
