{{Version badge 1}} All the web tags listed in the tables are available in the final 1.9.4 release of Cumulus 1, and indeed in earlier 1.9.x releases. See tip at top of this page if you use an earlier release than that.  When Cumulus 1 is processing web tags, it tends to ignore any it cannot understand, so look for gaps in your web pages to find errors.


[[File:Badge vMx.png]]  Cumulus MX provides equivalent tags, with only minor differences (highlighted in tables below for latest build) that vary between builds. See tip at top of page for how to check which web tags are available in your build. Please see [[Cumulus_MX|page introducing Cumulus MX]] for more information regarding the tags missing from Steve Loft's original beta builds of MX. For [[BETA_webtags#Day.2FNight.2FSun.2FMoon|Moon web tags]], the key difference is adding parameters to control the output from build 3047.

When MX is processing web tags, a "*** web tag error - see MXdiags file ***" message will appear in the engine console, and the diagnostic file will include something like this:
<pre>Web tag error
Exception: i=8998 len=106297
inputText.Length=106297
token=<#daylightlength format=H></pre>
