The following data tags can be used to customize the look of the Weather Watcher
forecast skins. You'll find the skins in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher\Skins
The data tags can also be used to customize the data that is displayed in the Export
and Log features. Those features can be setup in the "Export" and "Log" tabs of the
Weather Watcher Options window.
Unfortunately, there aren't detailed instructions regarding this process, but you
should be able to figure the process out if you have a basic understanding of HTML
and take a few minutes to look through the *.WTP template files in the "C:\Program
Files\Weather Watcher\Skins\Forecasts" folder.
The following codes can be used in all of the .WTP template files:

Additional Log-Only Tags:
[CRLF]
[TAB]
When using the Hourly, Daily or Detailed tags, you must use them inside of a loop
structure. See the following example for the loop structure syntax:
[HOURLY LOOP COUNT=5]
[TEMPLATE]
Day: [HOURLY DAY]
Condition: [HOURLY CONDITION]
[/TEMPLATE]
[/HOURLY LOOP]
Or, use multiple [TEMPLATE] tags to alternate row colors.
[HOURLY LOOP COUNT=5]
[TEMPLATE]
Day: [HOURLY DAY]
Condition: [HOURLY CONDITION]
[/TEMPLATE]
[TEMPLATE]
Day: [HOURLY DAY]
Condition: [HOURLY CONDITION]
[/TEMPLATE]
[/HOURLY LOOP]
In the above examples, the Day Name and Condition will be printed for the next 5
hours. To print all of the available hours, use a "*" in place of the "5".
[HOURLY LOOP COUNT=*]
[TEMPLATE]
Day: [HOURLY DAY]
Condition: [HOURLY CONDITION]
[/TEMPLATE]
[/HOURLY LOOP]
The Daily and Detailed data can be looped using a similar syntax.
[DAILY LOOP COUNT=5]
[TEMPLATE]
[DAILY DAY]
[DAILY CONDITION DAY]
[/TEMPLATE]
[/DAILY LOOP]
[DETAILED LOOP COUNT=5]
[TEMPLATE]
[DETAILED DAY]
[DETAILED FORECAST]
[/TEMPLATE]
[/DETAILED LOOP]
You can use the optional [START] tag to specify which item to print first. To print the
next 7 days starting tomorrow, set the [START] tag to "2".
[DAILY LOOP COUNT=7 START=2]
[TEMPLATE]
Day: [DAILY DAY]
Condition: [DAILY CONDITION DAY]
[/TEMPLATE]
[/DAILY LOOP]
