The format for tags in fairly flexible. Following is documentation from the backend software that handles tags.
Tag input
Tag input from users is treated as follows:
If the input doesn't contain any commas or double quotes, it is simply treated as a space-delimited list of tag names.
If the input does contain either of these characters, we parse the input like so:
Groups of characters which appear between double quotes take precedence as multi-word tags (so double quoted tag names may contain commas). An unclosed double quote will be ignored.
For the remaining input, if there are any unquoted commas in the input, the remainder will be treated as comma-delimited. Otherwise, it will be treated as space-delimited.
Examples:
====================== =========================== ================================================ Tag input string Resulting tags Notes ====================== =========================== ================================================ apple ball cat [
apple], [ball], [cat] No commas, so space delimited apple, ball cat [apple], [ball cat] Comma present, so comma delimited "apple, ball" cat dog [apple, ball], [cat], [dog] All commas are quoted, so space delimited "apple, ball", cat dog [apple, ball], [cat dog] Contains an unquoted comma, so comma delimited apple "ball cat" dog [apple], [ball cat], [dog] No commas, so space delimited "apple" "ball dog [apple], [ball], [dog] Unclosed double quote is ignored ====================== =========================== ================================================
