| Meta
|
An HTML tag used in the Head area of a document to
specify further information about the document, either for the

The META element is used within the Head element to embed document
meta-information not defined by other HTML elements. Such information
can be extracted by servers/clients for use in identifying,
indexing, and cataloging specialized document meta-information.
In addition, HTTP servers can read the contents of the document
head to generate response headers corresponding to any elements
defining a value for the attribute HTTP-EQUIV. This provides document
authors with a mechanism for identifying information that should be
included in the response headers of an HTTP request.
