Remove redundant Tag labels from Manuscript tables#396

When making Manuscript tables, the Tag label is included in both the column title and in every cell below it. It is redundant.

@Dnikitin We display the tag names with the extracted excerpt (redundantly, in some cases) because Tag columns display all tags applied at or under the tag you’ve specified. In your example, this does look silly, but in a nest with deeper tag hierarchies, it becomes necessary.

We also include the tag name to make it clear that the tag was applied, even if the excerpt was left blank. Without the tag name, studies where the tag was applied without an excerpt & studies where the tag not applied would be indistinguishable.

I’ve been entertaining the addition of the option to make Tag columns “recursive” or not (recursive being current behavior). Perhaps with this option, we could disable displaying the tag name. Alternatively, we could just make it a configuration option to show the tag name at all!

We are adding “Exact Tags” as a column option in next release, which will address this issue :)

Oops, forgot to close- this was resolved with the addition of Exact and “At or Below” tag export options.
