I was trying to build up my meta keyword element in my code and want to include any custom keywords per page and then bolt on some standard ones on the end. I did not want to use a macro as its a bit over kill (and you end up with lots of them) and its a one shot wonder on this site, it won't get used again.

Then I tried using something like this:

<umbraco:Item field="metaKeywords" textIfEmpty="" insertTextBefore="&lt;meta name=&quot;keywords&quot; content=&quot;" insertTextAfter="my default keywords here&quot; /&gt;" case="lower" htmlEncode="true" stripParagraph="true" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

But I simply find this really counter intuitive and I simply HATE writing element code encoded inside another element, its just all wrong.

So how best to do it. In ASP.net or Class ASP I'd do something like this:

<meta name="keyword" content="<%= page.metaKeywords %> my default keywords here" />

Is this doable? If so how to do you get to the umbraco page object and is there any docs on whats available.

More importantly is this the "umbraco way"? Am I missing a handy shortcut that I can't find in the docs?

Cheers
