HTML Metadata add Tags?

skb · 07-14-2019, 11:33 PM

I'm converting a bunch of HTML files and would like, if possible, to TAG them automatically (as part of the 'auto-add' process).

Using the information I got in this thread and also here, I'm adding Author, Comments & Date.

But it would be groovy (but not a show stopper) if I could automagically add tags as well when auto-adding certain HTML files.

Possible?

tags are supported, use subject for them. As shown here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...44&postcount=9

Brilliant! Thanks again, Kovid.

Still not able to crack the tags.

This is my HTML:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta name="author" content="Author's Name">
<meta name="dc.description" content="Sed at sapien tempus, facilisis justo ac, tristique tortor. Quisque leo erat, laoreet in erat in, iaculis vulputate eros." />
<meta name="DC.date.published" content="2019-07-16" />
<meta name="Publisher" content="My Calibre Collection" />
<meta name="DC.publisher" content="My Calibre Collection" />
<meta name="DCTERMS.publisher" content="My Calibre Collection" />
<meta name="Subject" content="Test" />
<meta name="DC.subject" content="Test" />
<meta name="DCTERMS.subject" content="Test" />
<title>This is my test document</title>
</head>

<body>
<p>It has tags for:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Date</li>
  <li>Publisher and</li>
  <li>Three types of Subject</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

This produces:

I've tried all versions of Subject but none return tags when creating the epub.

Does this work for anyone else?

Works for me with

Code:

<meta name="tags" content="Test" />
