There are at least two reasons that setting and using a description like that can't work: 1. meta takes only one key=value field. So you can't set a title and a description in the same meta, like you do in your example. It will ignore the description= part. 2. As I mentioned, meta simply does not populate %pagestate with data from user-defined fields, such as "description". So the data is simply not there for the map plugin to use. I've verified this by both reading the code, as well as by applying your patch, copying your above examples into pages, and verifying that it doesn't display the descriptions. Finally, I checked http://www.mimamsa.org/sources/ , and it doesn't work there either! Your map has: * sources/ak * sources/as * sources/cs * sources/mp * sources/ms * sources/ps * sources/tb To make this work, meta would have to be changed to store description, and any other relevant fields in %pagestate. And you'd have to not stack multiple value settings in [[meta]] directives, since that doesn't work, and isn't intended to.. -- see shy jo
