a free-form string that describes the page. The value must be appropriate for use in a directory of pages, e.g. in a search engine.
However the attribute currently uses the description for the site. If the author provides a description value within the front matter for the page, this is ignored.
To Reproduce
Add the following line to the front matter of a page where you wish to provide a description:
description: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
Run hugo: hugo server -D
Expected behaviour
The HTML outputted should be:
<head><!-- More html here... --><metaname="description" content="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" />
<!-- More html here... --></head>
Screenshots
None.
Configuration:
