GetBaseTagList

Description

Gets ancestor tag names, starting with the parent tag.

Returns

A comma-delimited list of uppercase ancestor tag names, as a string. The first list element is the current tag. If the current tag is nested, the next element is the parent tag. If the function is called for a top-level tag, it returns an empty string. If an ancestor does not expose data (see GetBaseTagData), its name might not be returned.
