Please note some items on this page apply to specifying the report name format (NOAA style), but all items refer to what are called '''template files''', those are files that Cumulus (1 or MX) is asked to [[Customised_templates#What_is_meant_by_.27Cumulus_processes_templates.27|process]] and that processing involves Cumulus recognising special markers placed in the template file.
<pre><#tag_name [optional input parameters][optional output parameters]></pre>
''Note: When you put a tag into your template, be careful that whatever program you are using to develop your web pages doesn't change the angle brackets to slightly different symbols -- this is a common cause of failure!'' There are a number of editing tools that are designed for those programming code and you should use one of those (e.g. Notepad++), rather than a tool designed for web page design editing (eg. Dreamweaver).
Web tags are case sensitive, so please type the tag name exactly as shown in the web tag columns on this page. These web tag markers can return values for both readings from your weather station and the what can be derived from those readings. A small number of web tags require lower case input parameters to select which value is shown (e.g. value for one hour ago). Although some web tags will not accept output parameters, others allow you to vary the number of decimal places that are output, or to vary the way that times and dates are output. Some output parameters are case sensitive for Cumulus 1 (all are case sensitive for MX), so do check them carefully.
