### What issue do you have?

Hello: Would someone please take pity on this old guy and explain to me how this "Auto Tag" plugin is intended to function. I'm in the process of converting a large set of notes over to Joplin and the description for this plugin states "Convert all octothorpe prefixed words into tags" (this is an octothorpe \> #, example #tag). I've installed the plugin but thus far I have been unable to get it to work.

Thank you for your time and consideration!
