META should be rendered in other templates other than view

Quite a few templates do not support META variables. This makes it difficult to have consistent interface elements on all pages.

I have created a patch for oops to let it render meta variables. But I think this should be possible for more (all) templates...

Meta data is currently rendered only in special cases. This is causing problems in many areas, as it has been pointed out in many other Codev topics. The proposed patch solves this one problem but not others.

The proper solution is to move all meta data rendering into TWiki::handleCommonTags. This makes the rendering consistent. See follow-up in HandleMetaTagsInHandleCommonTags.

About the patch file:

• Status: This is just a hack. A more thoughtful solution must be possible.
• License: GPL (just for clarity)
• Summary: Lets oops pages render meta variables, like %META("parent"}%
