Tag Reference
Add these as page tags, usually under Settings > Tags. Enter one tag at a time. Replace words in capitals, such as SLUG, LABEL, TEXT or ID, with the actual value.
Use the lowercase spelling shown for the tag name and option. Some parts of the theme ignore case, while others match exact text; do not rely on case-insensitive behaviour. Spaces after a colon, duplicate option tags and invented values can give inconsistent results.
For a section, choose one module: tag and at most one of each applicable layout:, style:, spacing:, card:, sort:, limit: and source option. filter:LABEL on card items is intentionally repeatable for multiple categories.
