<META .>, which always goes in the <HEAD> section, is used to describe the web page. Metainformation is information about information.


	<META ...>

is information about the information on the web page. For example, if you wanted to indicate when and how the web page was last revised, you might use:

<META NAME="revised" CONTENT="Troy Hebron, 3/18/97">

This tag says "the name of this information is 'revised' (NAME="revised"), and the information itself is 'Troy Hebron, 3/18/97'" (CONTENT="Troy Hebron, 3/18/97"). This method of naming the type of information and then giving the information itself makes <META ...> extensible. This means that just about any kind of information you want to give about the document can be fit into a <META ...> tag. If for some strange reason you wanted to describe the color of sweater you were wearing when you wrote the page, you could put:

The meta tag
<meta name="revised" content="Hege Refsnes, 6/10/99" /> ... revised others,
