Which page is giving the UNKNOWN TAG?
Have you added any modifications to Links (like custom templates, etc.)?

Front Page is fine for editing the TEMPLATE files, although you should install the Enhanced Template.pm code hack listed in the Resources section (Links => Modification => Links 2.X).

This code hack will allow you to have tags on the same line and parse them.

Like the following:

Code:

<%if tag%><%tag%><%endif%>


rather than:

Code:

<%if tag%>
<%tag%>
<%endif%>


Without the code hack, data for the TAGS will not appear. This code hack is quite helpful for people who use WYSIWYG editors, like Front Page, since WYSIWYG editors tend to put tags <%tag%> on the same line...and the default parsing format for templates is tags on separate lines.
