Should I include a <meta generator> tag?
提问by configurator
Suppose I have some sort of proprietary web framework. Should I include a <meta generator="My framework">tag in the generated files?
假设我有某种专有的 Web 框架。我应该<meta generator="My framework">在生成的文件中包含一个标签吗？
I noticed that StackExchange 0.9 applications do that, and wondered what are the pros/cons of doing it. Does it have any effect, or is it just useful for people looking at the source to see?
我注意到 StackExchange 0.9 应用程序会这样做，并想知道这样做的利弊是什么。它有什么作用，还是只是对看源码的人有用？

I've never seen a tag formatted like that before, with an attribute called generatorand the generating software as its value. Usually you'll see it presented as name="generator"and the generating software as its corresponding content, for example:
我以前从未见过这样格式化的标签，其属性称为属性generator，生成软件作为其值。通常你会看到它呈现为name="generator"和生成软件为其对应的内容，例如：
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 3.0.1" /> <!-- leave this for stats -->
Previously I was unaware of any standard for this, however it looks like HTML5has gone ahead and standardized the use of "generator" as a metadata name. It describes it thus:
以前我不知道有任何标准，但是看起来HTML5已经提前并将“生成器”的使用标准化为元数据名称。它是这样描述的：
The value must be a free-form string that identifies one of the software packages used to generate the document. This value must not be used on pages whose markup is not generated by software, e.g. pages whose markup was written by a user in a text editor.
该值必须是一个自由格式的字符串，用于标识用于生成文档的软件包之一。该值不得用于标记不是由软件生成的页面，例如标记是由用户在文本编辑器中编写的页面。
In the past when dynamic web apps weren't that prevalent, certain web site editors, like FrontPage (there, I said it), would automatically insert generator tags when you create new HTML documents or publish sites using them. This was taken to mean "This page was created using FrontPage". I don't think any modern editors or IDEs do this anymore, but I could be wrong. It's definitely commonly used in dynamic web apps today, however.
在过去，当动态 Web 应用程序不那么流行时，某些网站编辑器，例如 FrontPage（我说过），会在您创建新的 HTML 文档或使用它们发布网站时自动插入生成器标记。这意味着“此页面是使用 FrontPage 创建的”。我认为任何现代编辑器或 IDE 都不会再这样做了，但我可能是错的。然而，它绝对常用于当今的动态 Web 应用程序中。
