Specify default metadata to attach to content
</wmmeta>

Metadata is usually embedded inside a content item using the &lt;wmmeta&gt;
tag.  However, this can be a chore for lots of content items, so to make
things easier, you can specify default metadata settings, using the
&lt;metadefault&gt; tag.

Specify this tag before the content items in question, and those content items
will all be tagged with the metadata you set.

Like the attrdefault [attrdefault] tag, this tag can be used either in a
__scoped__ mode, or in a __command__ mode.

        [attrdefault]: $(attrdefault)

Scoped Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~

''Scoped'' mode uses opening (**&lt;metadefault&gt;**) and closing
(**&lt;/metadefault&gt;**) tags; the metadata is only set on content items
between the two tags.

Command Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Command mode uses standalone tags (**&lt;metadefault ... /&gt;**); the
metadata are set until the end of the WebMake file, or until you change
them with another &lt;metadefault&gt; tag.

Attributes
==========

	__name__:	the metadatum's name, e.g. __Title__, __Section__,
	etc.  This is required.

	__value__:	the metadatum's value.  This is optional.  If the
	value is not specified, the metadatum will be removed from the list of
	default metadata.

Example
=======

Using the scoped style:

<safe>
  <metadefault name="section" value="tags_and_attributes">

    <content name="chunk_1.txt">...</content>
    <content name="chunk_2.txt">...</content>
    <content name="chunk_3.txt">...</content>
    <content name="chunk_4.txt">...</content>

  </metadefault>
</safe>

Or, in the ''command'' style:

<safe>
  <metadefault name="section" value="tags_and_attributes" />

  <content name="chunk_1.txt">...</content>
  <content name="chunk_2.txt">...</content>
  <content name="chunk_3.txt">...</content>
  <content name="chunk_4.txt">...</content>

  <metadefault name="section" />
</safe>
