    Hi all, I am trying to sort my META description tag. I have a basic sentence but what I want to achieve is this:

    content="blah bla blah [*summary*]"

    so I use the same basic sntence for the content part of the tag, followed by the summary/introtext of that particular page - done by a placeholder.
    Is this possible at all? I just want to have the smae basic message, but make each slightly different
    Thanks in advance

      Or even better, use the "description" field.
      	<meta name="description" content="blah [*description*]" />

        Thanks Sottwell. I have tried this but only the following appears in my header

        <meta name="description" content="blah " />

        I am using Evolution if that makes any difference
        Thanks

            Editing the template does not clear the cache; editing a resource does. Any time you edit a chunk, snippet, template or TV default value you’ll need to clear the cache.
