I'm not sure if we need to document it beyond the mention on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/meta/name. This property isn't useful to any normal developer anyway, and isn't meaningful in any way. It's also falling out of fashion today. The issue you are trying to fix is untriaged. Please don't send PRs for untriaged issues in the future because you may waste time. |

Description
Add a reference page for the standard
<meta name="generator">metadata value, including its syntax, usage constraint, and examples.Motivation
MDN documents the
<meta>element and several standard metadata names, but it does not currently have a page explaining how generated documents identify their software generator.Additional details
The page follows the current HTML Standard definition and the structure used by other
<meta name>value pages.Related issues and pull requests
Fixes mdn/mdn#801.
