The user manual description you point to doesn't take comma-separated
tags but you select them by clicking on them. At the other places where
you enter tags, it does say that they need to be comma-separated. Thus,
you don't need to put quotation marks.

If you wish to see a change in the documentation, what would be your
suggestion?

Title:
  Adding multiple tags with spaces is confusing

Status in Mahara:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The default for entering multiple tags is to use a space.  This causes
  a problem if the tag should contain a space.  I have two tags "George
  Washington" and "US President".  I tried the following methods:

  * "George Washington", "US President" --> Mahara thought that the quotes were part of the tag.  Mahara should remove the quotes.
  * George Washington, US President --> This method work, or at least it seems to work.

  But the problem is that the documentation says that tags are supposed
  to be separated by a space.  Comma also seems to work as a separator.
  But when a space is part of a tag, it gets confusing.  Usually when an
  item is in quotes, a program like Google Search takes everything
  within the quotes, but strips out the quotes.  Mahara does not seem to
  be doing that.

  I have also seen problems with trying to search my multiple tags not
  work properly.  I don't know if this has to do with the fact that the
  original tags were added by using a comma as  a separator instead of a
  space separator.
