Plugin: meta

Enabled by default: no
Included in ikiwiki: yes
This plugin allows inserting arbitrary metadata into the source of a page. Enter the metadata as follows:
[[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.
You can use any field names you like, but here are some predefined ones:
link
Specifies a link to another page. This is used to generate a html <link> tag, and also as a way to make the wiki treat one page as linking to another without displaying a user-visible link. The latter 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"]]
A non-user-visible WikiLink would instead look like this:
[[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 overrideen, 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".
author
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.
