However, the main purpose of this page is to explain web tags (tokens that Cumulus uses to indicate where when processing a file it should insert values) that apply to all flavours of Cumulus (Cumulus 1, 2, and 3 aka MX), any differences are highlighted as necessary. Remember as Cumulus is developed more and more web tags are made available, if you are not using the latest release, then some of those listed in this article may not be available. In general, Cumulus 1 will silently ignore any web tags it does not recognise, but MX will raise an error for any web tag it does not understand how to process.

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 (also known in MX as tokens) placed in the template file.
