Use the ft:description attribute, or a metadata element to define a description in the map and node elements of FTML maps.
The following behavior can be expected:
-
If only the
ft:descriptionattribute is defined, crawlers take it into account. -
If both the
ft:descriptionattribute and theft:descriptionmetadata element are present, crawlers take the metadata element into account instead of the attribute.
As for all other attributes, the control file has priority over the Ftmap. If the Ftmap and the control file both define a description, Fluid Topics only takes the control file description into account.
When an FTML document is an article (ft:editorialType="article"), the ft:description does not appear under the title in search results.
