Property pairs

Each <meta> element specifies a property/value pair.

The name attribute identifies the property and the content attribute specifies the property's value.

  <meta
    name="author"
    content="Ernest Hemingway"
  />

The lang attribute can be used to specify the language used in the content attribute.

  <title>Les Fleurs Du Mal</title>
  <meta
    name="author"
    lang="fr"
    content="Charles Baudelaire"
  />

Note in the example above that the document title does not use the <meta> element, but instead the head element specifically created for title provision
