<xmod:metatags>

NEW TO VERSION 4.0

 

TEMPLATE CONTROL: This tag can be used in detail templates to alter the title, keywords, and description meta tags of the hosting web page. This is done by including <title>, <keywords>, and <description> inner tags. Only one <xmod:metatags> tag should be used in the template. While you can only specify one of each <title>, <keywords>, and <description> tags, you can just use only the tags you want. If you only want to change the page's title, you would only use the <title> tag and not specify <keywords> and <description>.
