-> When using `ContainerImageTags`, the tags are delimited by a `;` character. If you're calling `dotnet publish` from the command line (as is the case with most CI/CD environments), you need to outer wrap the values in a single `'` and inner wrap with double quotes `"`, for example (`='"tag-1;tag-2"'`).

If you're calling `dotnet publish` from the command line (as is the case with most CI/CD environments), you need to understand the limitations of the environment's inability to disambiguate delimiters and quotations, thus requiring proper escaping. This differs between PowerShell and Bash. Consider the following `dotnet publish` command:
