Node:documentdescription, Next:, Up:Global Document Commands



@documentdescription: Summary text

When producing HTML output for a document, makeinfo writes a <meta> element in the <head> to give some idea of the content of the document. By default, this description is the title of the document, taken from the @settitle command (see settitle). To change this, use the @documentdescription environment, as in:

@documentdescription
descriptive text.
@end documentdescription

This will produce the following output in the <head> of the HTML:

<meta name=description content="descriptive text.">

@documentdescription must be specified before the first node of the document.
