1 [[template id=plugin name=meta author="[[Joey]]"]]
4 This plugin allows inserting arbitrary metadata into the source of a page.
5 Enter the metadata as follows:
7 \[[meta field="value"]]
8 \[[meta field="value" param="value" param="value"]]
10 The first form sets a given field to a given value, while the second form
11 also specifies some additional sub-parameters.
13 The field values are treated as HTML entity-escaped text, so you can include
14 a quote in the text by writing `"` and so on.
16 You can use any field names you like, but here are some predefined ones:
20 Specifies a link to another page. This can be used as a way to make the
21 wiki treat one page as linking to another without displaying a user-visible
24 \[[meta link=otherpage]]
26 It can also be used to insert a html <link> tag. For example:
28 \[[meta link="http://joeyh.myopenid.com/" rel="openid.delegate"]]
30 However, this latter syntax won't be allowed if the [[htmlscrubber]] is
31 enabled, since it can be used to insert unsafe content.
35 Overrides the title of the page, which is generally the same as the
38 Note that if the title is overridden, a "title_overridden" variable will
39 be set to a true value in the template; this can be used to format things
40 differently in this case.
44 Specifies a copyright license for the page, for example, "GPL".
48 Specifies the author of a page.
52 Specifies a permanent link to the page, if different than the page
57 Specifies the creation date of the page. The date can be entered in
58 nearly any format, since it's parsed by [[cpan TimeDate]].
62 Adds a stylesheet to a page. The stylesheet is treated as a wiki link to
63 a `.css` file in the wiki, so it cannot be used to add links to external
66 \[[meta stylesheet=somestyle rel="alternate stylesheet"
71 Adds html <link> tags to perform OpenID delegation to an external
72 OpenID server. This lets you use an ikiwiki page as your OpenID. Example:
74 \\[[meta openid="http://joeyh.myopenid.com/"
75 server="http://www.myopenid.com/server"]]
77 If the field is not one of the above predefined fields, the metadata will be
78 written to the generated html page as a <meta> header. However, this
79 won't be allowed if the [[htmlscrubber]] is enabled, since it can be used to
80 insert unsafe content.
