Meta Data Rendering

Various meta data can be stored in topics - MetaDataDefinition

This is rendered using the %META% variable. This is mostly used in the view, preview and edit scripts.

At present support is fairly basic:

Variable usage:	Comment:
%META{"form"}%	Show form data, see Form Templates
%META{"attachments"}%	Show attachments, excluding hidden ones
options for attachments:
all="on"	Show all attachments i.e. including hidden ones
%META{"moved"}%	Details of any topic moves
%META{"parent [options]"}%	Show topic parent
options for parent:
dontrecurse="on"	By default recurses up tree, this has some cost
prefix="..."	Prefix that goes before parents, but only if there are parents, default ""
suffix="..."	Suffix, only appears if there are parents, default ""
seperator="..."	Seperator between parents, default is " > "

Possible future additions:
