Document header properties <META>

With this menu you can add a title and a description to your document and also indicate the author. The title is the text that appears in the title bar of the browser. By default CuteHTML Pro inserts the name to whom the program is registered, i.e. the user.

Most of the information is useful to identify the document with search engines and it complements other header information, specially the keywords necessary to make reference to your site, relation links which allow you to establish links between documents, and the documents’ base URL.

The command Meta associates your HTML document with header information that will be read by the http server. This information serves to identify the name of the document (NAME), the name of the author (AUTHOR), the content (CONTENT) and a directive HTTP-EQUIV. META is used in the header section (HEAD) of the document. This command is used by search and indexing engines.

This command allows you to define different options in the document header:

The title and the meta general information of the document (description and keywords)
Relation Links
The Site’s URL base

To indicate or modify the header properties of the document:

On the Specialized tab, click on the button Header properties . You can also use the shortcut Shift+ALT+D (Refer to list of shortcuts).

The META command allows you to establish relation links between files. The LINK tab establishes a relation with another object..
