The Meta object represents an HTML meta element.
<meta> tags must be placed inside the head section of an HTML document, and they provide metadata about the HTML document.
Meta elements are typically used to specify page description, keywords, author of the document, last modified, and other metadata. Metadata can be used by browsers (e.g. how to display content or reload pages), search engines (e.g. keywords), or other web services.
Note: The Meta object can also use the properties/methods of:
W3C: W3C Standard.

| httpEquiv | Sets or returns an HTTP header for the information in the content attribute | Yes |
| name | Sets or returns a name for the information in the content attribute | Yes |
| scheme | Sets or returns how the value of content should be interpreted | Yes |
