## Standards First

Entries point to the HTML standard or the platform that defines them. Legacy fields are labelled plainly.

## Working Examples

Copy a snippet, then adapt it to your page. Notes focus on mistakes that change browser or crawler behaviour.

## HTML & Unhead

Build a complete head block from a collection, in HTML or Unhead's useHead format.

## Collections

Curated sets of head tags for common use cases.
