 Is there any reason the [language attribute](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_element#The_language_attribute) is not supported?

+I guess patching [[/ikiwiki/directive/meta]] to document the fact this attribute is supported would be good. â [[Jon]]

++1 the language attribute works, I see:
+
+     <meta name="language" content="en" />
+
+The problem is that it does not generate the lang attribute in `<html>` and that's what's required for [hyphenation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hyphens) so this would be welcome too!
+
+Also, being able to use the language variable in templates would be very useful for various css tweaks. â [Hugo](https://hroy.eu)
