Should The Meta Tag Go In A Style Tag

1.3k Views Asked by AudioBubble At 16 November 2025 at 06:38

Does the meta tag need to be enclosed in a style tag (like CSS):

<head>
<style>
<meta name="title" content="Some text here" />
</style>
</head>

Or is this good:

<head>
<meta name="title" content="Some text here" />
</head>

It does not go in the style tag.
It does not matter if it is before or after the CSS.
The / is not required (except in XHTML, which you didn't mention using)
Even if you do use the /, a space is not required.

meta tags have to go in the head, and should not be in style tags, style tags are only for inline CSS declarations.

The latter is correct, however while most browser will ignore issues like /> its important to note that meta tags are void elements and HTML is not XML, so the most correct answer is:

<head>
<meta name="title" content="Some text here" >
</head>

before (but I think either way works)
no
no

That is, followings are acceptable:

<head>
<meta name="title" content="Some text here" />
<style>
/* CSS code here */
</style>
</head>

<head>
<meta name="title" content="Some text here">
<style>
/* CSS code here */
</style>
</head>
