Add full-sized tag graphic
'''Markers''' are like the folders for emails. A person can be given at most one marker. Tags are thus like multiple-valued markers.
[[File:gramps-tag.png|right]]Tags and filters will both identify subsets of the tree. However, they have practical differences in usage. Specifying your father's family using filters is an easy thing; there are already Ancestor filters based on some rules built-in to do this. On the other hand, specifying the people that emigrated to the USA is harder. And filtering for the famous people in your family is simply impossible --- there is no logical rule for such a subjective characteristic. Creating a 'Famous' Tag is much more practical for such a purpose. However, filters have the advantage of being '''dynamic'''. When you add an ancestor of your father in the database, that ancestor will be automatically discovered by an Ancestor filter focused on your father. On the other hand, tags have no such automation. When adding a famous person in the tree, you would have to explicitly Tag them as ''FAMOUS''.
* The most immediate object that comes to mind are the individuals, and that is also the most useful. However, other objects could be tagged:
