var string tagdd_content = "";
var string tagdd_options = "";
var TagDetail[] tagdd_tags = $p->visible_tag_list();

foreach var TagDetail tagdd_tag ($tagdd_tags) {
$tagdd_options = $tagdd_options + """$tagdd_tag.name\n""";
}
$tagdd_content = $tagdd_content + """
""";

print_sidebar_box($tagdd_header, $tagdd_content, "");

}Then, inside print_sidebar(), toward the end where you
