+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.
+[[meta title="meta plugin (enabled)"]]
