[Define_Tag] ... [/Define_Tag]
[Define_Tag] ... [/Define_Tag] defines a new LDML tag. The body of the container tag defines the operations that will be performed each time this tag is called. The new tag can be called immediately after the closing [/Define_Tag].
If the second parameter is -Async then an asyncrhonous tag will be created. This tag cannot return results to the current format file. It is executed in a separate thread after the current format file is finished processing.
Tags which are defined in format files placed in the LassoStartup folder upon startup can be used within any format file processed by Lasso.
