#### 13.4.6.2 Providing meta content with FrameMaker marker s

If you give a custom marker type a name that starts with Meta, Mif2Go automatically makes the marker text the value of whatever attribute is named by the rest of the marker-type name, and puts the attribute and its value in the generated <meta> tag. This method has two advantages:

• Markers do not require entries in the configuration file.

• Markers do not clutter your paragraph catalog.

For example, MetaKeywords:

<meta name="Keywords" content="whatever was in the marker(s)" />

You must ensure that the content of each marker is valid for the named attribute. The text of a FrameMaker marker is limited to 256 characters. Mif2Go gets around that restriction by concatenating all markers for the same attribute in the same HTML file. You can just add more markers of the same type, and continue the content. Meta* markers are concatenated into one <meta> tag within the same split or extract file, but not across file boundaries.
