HTML lets tou specify metadata –
information about a document rather than document content – in a variety of
ways. The META element can be used to include name/value pairs describing
properties of the HTML document, such as author, Expiry Date, a list of
Keywords, author etc.
The <meta> tag is an empty
element and so does not have a closing tag, rather, <meta> tags carry
information within attributes, so you need a forward slash character at the end
of the element.
Adding Meta Tags to
Your Documents:
You can add metadata to your web
pages by placing <meta> tags between the <head> and </head>
tags. They can include the following
attributes.
