Custom elements in meta

Asked by Nikola Malešević on 2011-09-23

Hi GEXF community,

Is it a valid practice to include custom elements inside meta element?

This is an example from Primer:

<meta lastmodifieddate="20090320">
  <creator>Gephi.org</creator>
  <description>A hello world! file</description>
  <keywords>basic, web</keywords>
</meta>

Is it OK to include some custom elements? For example:

<meta lastmodifieddate="20090320">
  <creator>Gephi.org</creator>
  <description>A hello world! file</description>
  <keywords>basic, web</keywords>
  <foo>foovalue</foo>
  <bar>barvalue</bar>
</meta>

Thank you in advance!

Yes but you should use a custom namespace, e.g.:

<niko:foo>foovalue</niko:foo>
