Hi Jean,

I read the documentation but I'm very hard to understand, my English is not good enough when it becomes too technical
I want use these tags : STRECORDS$ STRECENT$ STDAILY$ STMONTHLY1$ STMONTHLY2$ STMONTHLY$ STYEAROVERYEAR$
but I can not understand how to use them

There is a test webpage that has every web tag that WeatherCat supports.  You can have a look at it here:

http://live.trixology.com/custom/

That may help you understand how to use any particular web tag. 

In this case though, I think you problem is that you need to avoid having the web browser reformat the text.

Try wrapping WeatherCat tags with the <pre> </pre> HTML tags.  For example:

Code: [Select]
<pre>
STRECORDS$
</pre>

Use the same combination for your other tags and that should display the information correctly.

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

I'll update that page to indicate those tags should be enclosed in 'pre' tags - thanks Edouard.
