Re: Re: HTML in meta content

Chris,

Yes, you are correct. I wanted to pass a block of text "Page Description" that
was placed within a decorated block on the page. I though the cleanest way to
do this was with a META tag. It turns out the <decorator:getParameter tag was a
better way. I did not fully understand the power of that tag.

In return for your nice product, I would like to put a page on the wiki as a
quick How To. If only I could get to the sitemesh wiki ;)

Thanks,

Matt
