You can customize the layout of a DiveTab overview page, so there are many different tags that you can use. There are basic tags that must be defined, additional tags that are typically defined, and some advanced tags that can be defined to provide enhanced capabilities.
An overview page is defined using an overview-page tag with additional tags between an open { and close } brace. An overview page is often the first page defined in a sections block and can also be defined in a pages block.
