ⓘ meta – metadata CHANGED # T

The meta element is a multipurpose element for representing metadata.

The details of the meta element are described in the following sections:

Additional constraints and admonitions #

The “scheme” attribute on the “meta” element is obsolete. Use only one scheme per field, or make the scheme declaration part of the value.
Using the “meta” element to specify the document-wide default language is obsolete. Consider specifying the language on the root element instead.

Changes in HTML5 #

Although previous versions of HTML allowed the http-equiv attribute on the meta element to have any number of possible values, the http-equiv attribute is now restricted to only the specific values described in this reference. Also, the new charset attribute is now allowed.
