Metadata @…

You can use metadata names that have been declared with a textual value like a variable throughout your Aneamal file and inside linked and embedded files.

How to

Write a squirrel @ immediately followed by a declared metadata name where you want it to be replaced by its assigned metadata value when the Aneamal file is translated into a webpage.

You need to wrap the @ together with the metadata name in backticks as in the second example below, if you want to use it at the beginning of a line. Otherwise it would be mistaken for a metadata declaration.

Examples

Let’s assume the following metadata declaration exists in a file:

@ author: Quincey P. Morris

The metadata name can be used elsewhere in the file then and is automatically translated to the value that has been assigned to it in the declaration:

Yours, as ever and always, @author

The metadata shall appear at the start of a new line in the second example. It is wrapped in backticks there to prevent it from being confused with a metadata declaration.

Yours, as ever and always,
`@author`

Tip

The metadata name version is already predefined. It contains the version number of your Aneamal Translator installation. You can use it to check your version.

This webpage was made with Aneamal @version.
