This plugin allows inserting arbitrary metadata into the source of a page.
Enter the metadata as follows:
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".
* permalink
- Specifies a perminent link to the page, if different than the page
+ Specifies a permanent link to the page, if different than the page
generated by ikiwiki.
+* date
+
+ Specifies the creation date of the page. The date can be entered in
+ nearly any format, since it's parsed by [[cpan TimeDate]].
+
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.
