Limb tags are powered by the excelent WACT template engine. Original WACT template engine was modified to meet specific Limb needs. Its a bad, bad thing. WACT will be used as an external library in the future releases (from Limb3)

Some of the tags found in Limb 2_x has no or almost no difference with WACT equivalents. This a Limb2 specific behaviour since WACT engine is not used as an external library.
