doc/todo/meta_rcsid.mdwn



The following patch adds an 'rcsid' parameter to the Meta plugin, to allow inclusion
of CVS/SVN-style keywords (like '$Id$', etc.) from the source file in the page template.

So the idea is you'd write something like:
[[!meta rcsid="$Id$"]]
And this would be put at the bottom of the page or somewhere like that by
the template?
I wonder if it wouldn't be just as clear to say:
$Id$
And then use a stylesheet to display it as desired.

That's possibly true; my reasoning was that I wanted it to be more independent
of the page content, and independent of any stylesheet.
