To add a meta tag to that output, include it in the relevant document:

<document>
  <header>
    <meta name="description">A Forrest site</meta>
    <meta name="keywords">apache, forrest</meta>
    <title>Document Title</title>

And the skin will take care of the rest. If you need to 1) change or remove the default tags, or 2) add tags to all documents, then you may need to customize the skin. If you need assistance with (1) or (2), I'd be happy to help.

This is what I have in index.xml, it's not working.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE document PUBLIC "-//APACHE//DTD Documentation V2.0//EN" "http://forrest.apache.org/dtd/document-v20.dtd";>
<document>
 <header>
      <meta name="description">My website</meta>
      <meta name="keywords">apache, forrest</meta>
      <title>Instutions</title>
 </header>

<body>

I have tried the meta tags before and after the title.

It works for me with 0.7 using pelt. What is the output when you add these tags? Is there an error?

The pelt skin wraps these meta tags in a meta-data tag, which it later passes off to the common skin by not providing its own template. Have you modified either of these skins?

My site uses tigris and I had made a lot of change so I thought the reason it was not working was because it was somethig I had done. So I just rebuilt a webapp, it works for pelt, not for tigris on the new one.

It might be a bug?
