Attributes

| maxFontSize | no | any length value (in units of px, pt, em or %) | 300% | font size for the most common tags |
| minFontSize | no | any length value (in units of px, pt, em or %) | 100% | font size for the least common tags |
| maxColor | no | color definition RRR, GGG, BBB each in range 0-255 | 128,128,192 | color for the most common tags |
| minColor | no | color definition RRR, GGG, BBB each in range 0-255 | 64,64,128 | color for the least common tags |

Notes
If you want to change font sizes, both maxFontSize and minFontSize must be defined and use the same size units.
If you want to change tag colors, both maxColor and minColor must be defined.
If you choose a custom target page make sure a module PagesByTag is there - otherwise there would be no point in linking the tags.
By default tags starting with the underscore "_" are hidden and are not shown by default. Use showHidden="true" to display them.
The 3D tag representation is based on the WP-Cumulus WordPress plugin.
Examples
[[module TagCloud minFontSize="1em" maxFontSize="2em" maxColor="8,8,8" minColor="200,200,228" category="news"]]A working example of a 3D tag cloud can be found on our Snippet pages.
You can also put your TagCloud in the side menu (often located in page nav:side. This is sometimes nice ;-)
