%%short-description: Programming language for the Web
 
%%full-description: Meta-HTML is a powerful, extensible server-side
programming language specifically designed for working on the World
Wide Web. It resembles a cross between HTML and Lisp and has a huge
existing function library, including support for sockets, image
creation, perl, GNU plot, etc. It is extensible in both Meta-HTML and
other languages (C, etc.)

Although it is a genuine programming language, suitable for
large-scale symbolic manipulation, it provides the most commonly
desired Web functionality as built-in primitives, so you don't have to
write them.

A Web page is written, using both HTML and meta-HTML. When a browser
requests a page, that page is passed through the meta-HTML
interpreter, which dynamically processes any meta-HTML statements to
produce a final HTML page that's delivered to the browser.
