META TOPICPARENT name="TWikiVariables"

META -- displays meta-data

  • Provided mainly for use in templates, this variable generates the parts of the topic view that relate to meta-data (attachments, forms etc.) The formfield item is the most likely to be useful to casual users.
  • Syntax: %META{ "item" ...}%
  • Parameters:
    Item Options Description
Changed:
<
<		 | "formfield" | name="...": name of the field. The field value can be shortened as described in FormattedSearch for $formfield
newline="...": by default, each newline character will be rewritten to <br /> to allow metadata that contains newlines to be used in tables, etc. $n indicates a newline character.
bar="...": by default, each vertical bar is rewritten to an HTML entity so as to not be mistaken for a table separator.

  • Attention: The base topic, not the current topic, is used if %META{}% is placed in an included topic. Add a topic="%WEB%.%TOPIC%" parameter if you need meta info of the current topic.
