meta tags in index.html

Hi @all,

just one question, how can I add meta tags like 'description', 'keywords', 'author' to the <head> area in automated generated index.html while compiling?
OK I mean automated during compiling, not manually after compiling

Possibly it can be added to compiler options.

Hi,

does something like

Code: Select all

! $('head').append('<here the html code>');

nope. Doesn't work

Code: Select all

Procedure main()
  ! $('head').append('<meta name="keywords" content="keywords here">')
  ! $('head').append('<meta name="description" content="description here">')
  ! $('head').append('<meta name="author" content="author info here">')

endprocedure
main()

if you look to index.html (or whatever the start html is named) does not show additional meta tags

Is this enough to index the site?

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about meta data in an html page. I am also of the opinion that they should be present in the page from the beginning and not be inserted manually by JavaScript.

I have written a small SpiderBasic tool that allows you to manipulate the HTML file generated by SpiderBasic before it is displayed in the browser: HtmlPreprocessor for SpiderBasic

This makes it possible to insert the meta data directly into the HTML page.

I agree. As I know meta tags have to be natively in the starting html because the html header is checked by crawlers, not js scripts.

I will check it soon and report the result.
Thanks Peter
