Because this article describes the parameters available, it covers more than just web tags, it lists the way that you can specify the naming format for the NOAA style reports that Cumulus produces as those names use a sub-set of the output parameters.

Although web tags apply to all flavours of Cumulus (Cumulus 1, 2, and 3 aka MX), as mentioned above, the range available depends on the exact version/build of Cumulus you are using. Because Cumulus 2 is no longer available, it has been ignored in the tables below. However, in the tables of web tags below, some sections are marked Cumulus 1 only or MX only and some individual tags have markings indicating aspects that apply only to a particular flavour.  It is important to stress that these "C1" markings are for the final version of Cumulus 1 (and so if you are running an earlier version, some may not be available to you). Similarly the "MX" markings apply to the latest version of MX (and if you are using an earlier build, some may not be available to you). In general, Cumulus 1 will silently ignore any web tags it does not recognise, but MX will raise an error for any web token it does not understand how to process. Both flavours may either ignore, give wrong values, or refuse to accept, incorrect input or incorrect output parameters, this varies by tag/token and has not been indicated in the tables below.
