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.

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

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
