TAGS: Quote, By-Foo, From-Foo

In the old style WWWJDIC tags you had things like [Quote, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare]. My suggestion for the current system is (up to) three tags.

Quote
By-Shakespeare
From-Romeo and Juliet

My reasoning is a) Clicking on 'Quote' will show all the quotes. b) Including 'By-' makes it clear that the author / speaker is being referred to, c) Including 'From-' makes it clear that the source (book, play, film, etc.) is being referred to.

I'd suggest that other related tags be brought into line with that system.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

I think it's a pretty good idea

I would skip the By- From- parts as it makes the process more tedious and is not essential, in my opinion.

By- part would allow the automatic processing of the tags.

Also, Non Caesar supra grammaticos has Caesar tag because it's related to Caesar, not because it's about him.
