+This plugin allows inserting arbitrary metadata into the source of a page.
+Enter the metadata as follows:
+
+	\\[[meta field="value"]]
+	\\[[meta field="value" param="value" param="value"]]
+
+The first form sets a given field to a given value, while the second form
+also specifies some additional sub-parameters.
+
+You can use any field names you like, but here are some predefined ones:
+
+* link
+
+  Specifies a link to another page. This is used to generate a html
+  <link> tag, and also as a way to make the wiki treat one page as
+  linking to another without displaying a user-visible link. The latter 
+  can be useful when using links to categorise pages. A html link tag
+  would look like this:
+
+	\\[[meta link="foo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"]]
+
+  A non-user-visible [[WikiLink]] would instead look like this:
+
+	\\[[meta link=otherpage]]
+
+* title
+
+  Overrides the title of the page, which is generally the same as the
+  page name.
+
+* license
+
+  Specifies a copyright license for the page, for example, "GPL".
+
+* author
+
+  Specifies the author of a page.
+
+If the field is not treated specially (as the link and title fields are),
+the metadata will be written to the generated html page as a <meta>
+header.
+
+This plugin is not enabled by default. If it is enabled, the title of this
+page will say it is.

 Replace "foo" with the command name that will be used inside brackers for

-Each time the directive is processed, the referenced function (`preprocess` in the example above) is called, and is passed named parameters. A
