== Webtags available in Cumulus 1.9.1 ==
'''A TEST PAGE FOR LAYOUT PRESENTATION'''
 
== Additional webtags available in the BETA version of Cumulus 1.9.1 ==
 
These are special markers placed in a file which Cumulus can then process and replace with the actual values. Typically you would use this to build your own website by having an HTML template file with your layout, static text and graphics. In the position on the page you wish Cumulus to insert the relevant data place a webtag in the form:
=Time/Date 'format' Parameter=
 
From 1.9.1 b969 most time webtags will accept an option 'format' parameter, e.g: <#YearTempHT format=hh:nn>. This allows you to override the default display format for that item, using the format specifiers in the table below. Note that if your format has any spaces in it, you must enclose it in double quotes, thus: <#YearTempHT format="hh nn">. Note also that you can specify date formatting to times and vice versa, but this will not always yield a sensible result.

=The Tags=
 
Below is a list of the additional webtags available in this beta version. These webtags will be transferred to the main page when the betacurrent version becomesof 'live'Cumulus.
