Meta tags in XML?

Hi. So I've done a fair amount of html coding, and I'm familiar with optomizing an html site for search engines using the META tags for description, author, and keywords. Is there a similar thing that can be done in an XML file? Would I simply use META tags exactly as in html, or is it different?Thanks.Steve.

Here are two sites for you to have a look at:http://www.submitexpress.com/metatags.htmlWith this free site you can either check or generate html meta tags.This also free site generates .xml sitemaps which are used for the Google search engine:http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/To my knowledge, sitemaps are the only use for .xml files.Meta tags are always coded in html and placed in the header part of your webpage.Regards, Zyferthttp://xsitepro.cybersprout.com

Properly Closed XML Meta Tag

I had similar question like you. But, through some search I found that the difference between HTML Meta Tags and XML or XHTML Meta Tags is a single / (slash).

XML or XHTML Meta Tags end with />, while HTML Meta Tags end only with >.

e.g.

HTML Meta Tag:
HTML Code:
<meta name="keywords" content="Clipping Path, Photoshop Masking">
XML or XHTML Meta Tag:
HTML Code:
<meta name="keywords" content="Clipping Path, Photoshop Masking" />
i.e. Each Meta Tag should be properly closed.
