Description

Hola,

I am trying to add to the spec information of a new standardized meta name for subtitle. You can find context here. This would add a document.subtitle and a new standard name to the meta tags that would allow developers to specify contextual information of the running web app.

They constitute small changes and I am trying to understand if there is ant prettifier I should run on the source to make sure it is in the right format.

The current changes are in https://github.com/whatwg/html/compare/main...diekus:html:main, woudl you be so kind to guide me in what are the next seps I should do to get this into the spec?

Thank you

Diego

Inspect how the proposed document.subtitle and new meta name would fit into the HTML Standard, then check the project’s formatting guidance. Done means the proposal has a clear standards path and the corresponding spec changes are ready for review.
