This plugin allows inserting arbitrary metadata into the source of a page.
-This plugin is not enabled by default. If it is enabled, the title of this
-page will say it is. [[meta title="meta plugin (enabled)"]]
Enter the metadata as follows:
- \\[[meta field="value"]]
- \\[[meta field="value" param="value" param="value"]]
+ \[[meta field="value"]]
+ \[[meta field="value" param="value" param="value"]]
The first form sets a given field to a given value, while the second form
also specifies some additional sub-parameters.
can be useful when using links to categorise pages. A html link tag
would look like this:
- \\[[meta link="foo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"]]
+ \[[meta link="foo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"]]
A non-user-visible [[WikiLink]] would instead look like this:
- \\[[meta link=otherpage]]
+ \[[meta link=otherpage]]
* title
Overrides the title of the page, which is generally the same as the
page name.
+ Note that if the title is overridden, a "title_overridden" variable will
+ be set to a true value in the template; this can be used to format things
+ differently in this case.
+
* license
Specifies a copyright license for the page, for example, "GPL".
Specifies the author of a page.
+* permalink
+
+ Specifies a permanent link to the page, if different than the page
+ generated by ikiwiki.
+
If the field is not treated specially (as the link and title fields are),
the metadata will be written to the generated html page as a <meta>
header.
+
+The field value is treated as HTML entity-escaped text, so you can include
+a quote in the text by writing `"` and so on.
+
+If this plugin is enabled, the title of this page will say that it is.
