Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Re: Stylesheet RFC -- "description" meta tag in html

The description | is a human readable (apparently short and sweet) summary of the | content. It's independent of the keywords meta tag. This confused me, too, until I looked at the reference, http://searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/meta.html which shows as a sample, === <HEAD> <TITLE>My World</TITLE> <META name="description" content="Everything you wanted to know about stamps, from prices to history."> <META name="keywords" content="stamps, stamp collecting, stamp history, prices, stamps for sale"> </HEAD> Now your listing will look something like this in search engines that support the descriptions tag: My World Everything you wanted to know about stamps, from prices to history. === I don't keep up with current, um, art wrt HTML, and this is a new one on me. I agree with Norm that it's an abstract in current Docbook markup - it's an abstract that isn't displayed in the rendered HTML page, but I think that's probably something we can overlook. regards, Terry
