Yes, but in this case you can go to the source. The tag routines are
all mapped in Vend/Parse.pm. Not all begin with tag_.

Look at the %Routine variable, which goes something like:

my %Routine = (

                accessories     => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_accessories,
                area            => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_area,
                banner          => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_banner,
                bounce          => sub { return '' },
                calc            => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_calc,
                cart            => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_cart,
                catch           => \&Vend::Interpolate::catch,
                cgi             => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_cgi,
                checked         => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_checked,
                'currency'      => sub {
                                        my($convert,$noformat,$amount) = @_;
                                        return &Vend::Util::currency(
                                                        $amount,
                                                        $noformat,
                                                        $convert);
                                    },
                data            => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_data,
		# ...
		# more
		# ...
                value           => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_value,
                value_extended  => \&Vend::Interpolate::tag_value_extended,

            );


You can see the settings of Interpolate, addAttr, hasEndTag, etc. in
similar ways.
