====== ComboStrap Page Metadata - The Metadata Viewer ======

===== About =====
The ''ComboStrap Metadata Viewer'' is an utility that renders a box with all known page metadata's in a raw form without any filtering.

It's used mainly for support purpose.

You will see:
  * the  [[..:metadata:metadata|metadata managed by ComboStrap]]
  * and all other metadata's of your installation (from [[support:plugin|third plugin]] to [[doku>metadata|dokuwiki itself]])





===== Type =====

You can:
  * access it in a [[#window|popup form]]
  * or print them in a page via the [[#tag|metadata tag]]

==== Window ====
The metadata viewer is accessible via the [[docs:metadata:manager|metadata manager]]

{{:docs:semantic:metadata_viewer_link_button_in_metadata_manager.png|}}

==== Tag ====

You can render the metadata of a page with the ''metadata tag''
<webcode name="Default">
<code dw>
<metadata title="Metadata" exclude="tableofcontents|user"/>
</code>
where:
  * ''title'' is the title of the box
  * ''exclude'' is an attribute with a regular expression pattern that permits to exclude metadata from rendering.

Output without the [[:docs:theme:element:toc|table of contents]] and the ''user'' properties
</webcode>
