[Pmwiki-users] robots

[John Rankin]

We are using something similar with meta tags.

A bit of background -- we developed a script for a client that turns
a [[$Publish]]-ed page into a pdf, using xhtml -> latex -> pdf.

It sets default values for things like headers, footers and the title page.

We needed a way for an author to override the defaults and the current 
approach is to use meta tags.

For example, an author writes in the wiki page:

=pdf2you title='The Title' duplex=off watermark=draft

This turns into
 <meta name='pdf2youtotle' content='The Title' />
 <meta name='pdf2youduplex' content='off' />
 <meta name='pdf2youwatermark' content='draft' />

which the converter then processes. We wanted something where the author
could specify all the settings in one statement, hence use of the '=pdf2you'
start of line markup.

This is useful to know.  Another approach to the meta tag problem 
instead of allowing arbitrary metatags would be to have directives like
[[keywords: ]], [[description:]], and [[robots:]].  

However, keep in mind that there's also been some low-volume discussion about
entering page descriptions using a "=desc" markup, so another approach
might be to use
   =keywords
   =desc
   =robots
