#Page Meta-Data

A Pelican plugin to add meta-data for each generated page in the format:

`index.html Tue 12 Nov 2019 03:52:15 PM CET 57.637KB`

It calculates the weight of the HTML page including all image media. A time stamp reflecting the date of generation is also added.

The data is appended at the end of the HTML, so nothing fancy for now.

## Usage and setup

To use this plugin first import `strftime` at the top of `pelican.conf`:

`from time import strftime`

Then add `NOW = strftime('%c')` somewhere in that document as well. This saves the time of generation as a variable that is usable by the `page_metadata` plugin. 

To enable the plugin add it to the `PLUGINS` list in `pelicanconf.py`.
