 This plugin allows inserting arbitrary metadata into the source of a page.
 Enter the metadata as follows:
 
-	\[[meta field="value"]]
-	\[[meta field="value" param="value" param="value"]]
+	\[[!meta field="value"]]
+	\[[!meta field="value" param="value" param="value"]]
 
 The first form sets a given field to a given value, while the second form
 also specifies some additional sub-parameters.
