Can anyone explain to me the purpose of it and how it can be used?

Question

I noticed that in the HTML course, we were not taught about "meta name" and "author" but in most people code, it is usually written.

Answer 1

Deposited in the head section of an HTML document, meta tags are used to indicate coded information and specify metadata. They don’t appear on the actual website, instead user agents like browsers or web crawlers can read meta tags.

The function of a meta element is to convey additional information to a website, which facilitates the analysis of HTML files and makes maintaining file contents easier. HTML meta tags almost always follow the same structure; an element is first defined and then assigned a content. The formula for declaring metadata follows this structure:

<meta name="Name of element" content="assigned index"/>
