Metatags Specification 1.00 Anno Domini 2000

Metatags

An input text file for an ebook can contain meta tags. Meta tags are similar to HTML tags. They are used to control the formatting of the text and can be inserted everywhere in the text.
Until now only meta tags for the eBook Generator are defined, but in future versions meta tags which will be evaluated by the reader may be added.

Each metatag (except the split directive) starts with "<mt " and ends with ">"

IMPORTANT: To define a splitpoint (the start of a new part) insert the metatag <--split--> on a single line.

List of All Metatags (except split directive)

<mt t=on> start tag recognition
<mt t=off> stop tag recognition (only start will be recognized again)
<mt r=on> replace single linebreaks with space char
<mt r=off> don't replace
<mt c=on> collapse multiple spaces into one space
<mt c=off> don't collapse
<mt ds=on> double spaces
<mt ds=off> don't doublespaces

Default Values

translate metatagsON by default
replace single linebreaksON by default
collapse spacesON by default
double spacesOFF by default

The "translation on" and "translation off" metatags shouldn't be combined with a second metatag in one line !!!
