Each new build of the beta MX has increased the range of web tags it supports. Since MX has come out of beta, new versions have not only implemented the remaining tags from Cumulus 1, they have also added new tags not previously available. For full details see the [[Webtags#Differences_between_Cumulus_1_and_Cumulus_MX_.28Cumulus_3.29:|web tags]] article, but a quick précis follows in next few sections. | |||

The ''''format' parameter''' on the date/time output modifier for web tags is unfortunately different, because many of the characters used are different.

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 difference in date/time modifiers also affects how you specify the '''NOAA report''' file names.
