Sould be fixed now, mainly by commit 43042318.  Thanks for the PHP hints.

And closing, because I see the Startpage search engine has picked up the change.

(If you have any other suggestions for improvements, don't hesitate to open a new issue.)

A simple solution could be adding a $title or $metadescription variable for pages you want as there is one php file per page.


<?php

$title="GNU nano";
$metadescription="blablabla";

include "top.php";
?>


And in the top.php add these 2 conditions:


   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
   <?php if (isset($title)): ?>
   <title><?= htmlspecialchars($title) ?></title>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php if (isset($metadescription)): ?>
   <meta name="description" content="<?= htmlspecialchars($metadescription) ?>" />
   <?php endif; ?>
   <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">


(code not tested, but a hint)

In a way, the "garbage" could be considered a trademark.  :)

Because of how the website is constructed (with PHP snippets), adding a meta tag would mean that all pages would get the same meta tag.  That's not good.  For the same reason the title tag cannot be moved into the head section.  I didn't write how the website is contructed.  If you have any idea of how to fix this...  This is the repo: git://git.wh0rd.org/git/nano-editor .

Maybe add a meta description.

Also maybe move title tag into head section.
