Example

The following example demonstrates how to specify two different <META> tags for use within EditLive! documents.

<editLive>
    <document>
        <html>
            <head>
                ...
                <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
                   http-equiv="Content-Type" name="contentType" />
                <meta name="Author" content="John Doe" />
                ...
            </head>
            ...
        </html>
    </document>
    ...
</editLive> 

Remarks

The <meta> element is most often used to specify the character set to be used within EditLive!. This is done by using a <meta> element which specifies a charset such as the following example which specifies the UTF-8 character set:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

The <meta> element can appear only once within the <head> element.

The <meta> element must be a complete tag; it cannot contain a tag body. Therefore, the tag must be closed in the same line. See the example below:

<meta content=... />
