23:27:00 <SeanFenian> Hey folks!  META question.  SITE/index.html is generated from conf.py, not from an RST page.  IF I want to add a <meta name="fediverse:creator" content="..."> header, preferably site-wide, ...   how can I do it?  Do I need to do it by editing the theme itself?
23:31:18 <SeanFenian> ....  Never mind, just found where to insert that.  Shoulda waited another 5 minutes...
23:34:03 <SeanFenian> Do I need to do anything particular to make sure this *does not get overwritten*?
23:49:28 <ChrisWarrick> SeanFenian: you must edit the template.
23:50:05 <ChrisWarrick> SeanFenian: or you can use EXTRA_HEAD_DATA in conf.py.
23:50:32 <SeanFenian> Ah!  That seems safer!
23:51:00 <ChrisWarrick> manual edits to files in output are not supported and will be automatically replaced
23:51:59 <SeanFenian> OK, so moving that to EXTRA_HEAD_DATA.  Thank you!
23:52:19 <ChrisWarrick> you're welcome!
23:54:33 <SeanFenian> hmm.  I seem to be doing something wrong.  I'm getting a cannot-be-parsed error on conf.py.
23:55:00 <SeanFenian> I have: EXTRA_HEAD_DATA = '<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="[email protected]">'
23:55:15 <SeanFenian> and I've tried that with the quotes both ways round
23:55:20 <SeanFenian> what am I doing wrong?
23:58:48 <SeanFenian> ah, I may have accidentally intriduced an error somewhere else.  Let me revert and start over.
