Description:

This pull request introduces enhancements to the DefaultMetaPlugin to dynamically generate more accurate and descriptive meta tags for pages, specifically tailored to programming language guidelines within the GoatStyles documentation. Key improvements include special case handling for programming languages such as TypeScript, JavaScript, C#, and Objective-C, ensuring their names are correctly formatted in both titles and descriptions of the meta tags.

Changes:

  • Added a method format_language_name to correctly format language names based on filenames, accounting for special cases.
  • Utilized site configuration (e.g., site_name, site_description, site_url) and the dynamically generated language name to set default values for Twitter and Open Graph meta tags.
  • Ensured that if specific meta tags are already defined in a page's front matter but require dynamic updates (like description and title), these are specifically updated with custom values.

Rationale:

Given the diversity of programming languages covered in the GoatStyles documentation, it's crucial that each page's meta tags accurately reflect the content, especially when shared on social media platforms. The previous implementation used a generic description and title, which did not provide enough context about the page's content. By dynamically generating these tags based on the page's content and handling special naming cases, we can improve SEO and user engagement.

Testing:

Changes have been locally tested with a subset of pages (including those for TypeScript, JavaScript, C#, and Objective-C) to ensure meta tags are generated as expected. Additional review and testing across all pages in the GoatStyles documentation would be beneficial to ensure comprehensive coverage and accuracy.
