Meta Tags for HTML


Meta tags are the HTML or XHTML <meta … > element used to provide structured metadata about a Web page. Multiple Meta tags with different attributes are often used on the same page. Meta tags can be used to specify page description, keywords and any other metadata not provided through the other head elements and attributes.The metadata can be used by browsers (how to display content or reload page), search engines (keywords), or other web services.
