Hi,

I started using 0.6rc1 2 days ago. One small thing I noticed is that the  
‘available tags’ link does not show the tags that are available through  
the  
behaviors. You can see this on the archive page when you start with a  
full  
features blog (option 3).

Also, I find the popup window not very convenient. Since I would like to  
keep the reference on screen, it would have been more convenient if the  
tags  
showed up in another browser window.

Is it fair to add the bug and requests to trac?

Regards,  
Erik.

my thoughts on available tags:  
I was surprised to see that tags from the extensions were loaded into  
the available tags windows. very cool.  
I would like to see the “available tags” link added to layouts and  
snippets also.

Erik, I keep a tab open to [http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/)  
UsingRadiant so that I can see more description of the tags, but use  
the available tags popup for quick reference.

The available tags will only be added if the Page subclass uses the  
documentation DSL, i.e.

desc “This tag does something really cool!”  
tag “cool” do |tag|  
“Something really cool!”  
end

So basically, just call ‘desc’ and pass it a string right before your  
tag definition. Your string will be formatted with Textile, so if you  
want code blocks, wrap them in

```
 as usual.
