Webgen::ContentProcessor::Head

Summary

As short name for the content processor (used, for example, in the pipeline option of a block in a file in Webgen Page Format) one of the following can be used: head.

Description

This processor is used to insert various HTML tags (link, script and meta) before the end of the HTML head section. The tags that tags are inserted can be specified in various ways:

  • Links to used javascript and css files, inline javascript and css content and general meta tags can be set by webgen tags (or by any other webgen extension) on a page-per-page basis.

  • Arbitrary meta tags can be inserted on a page-per-page basis by the user by setting the meta information named meta on a page file.

  • Links to javascript and/or CSS files can be inserted by the user by setting the meta information named link.

  • Arbitrary link tags can also be inserted by setting the meta information named link. This allows one, for example, to specify which page file logically follows or precedes a given page file.

The processor also automatically inserts link tags to translations of the rendered page file.

This content processor should be used on template files since its output is only useful in the head section of an HTML file. And it should be the last content processor in the pipeline because otherwise not all needed information is available! There is no need for a special markup since the HTML head end tag is unique in a HTML element and therefore the insertion place can easily be found.

Developers wanting to use the functionality of this content processor should have a look at its API documentation.
