There isn't any explanation, so let's make one. On pd-ext, have a look at the help file for [float], there should be a pd META subpatch there with all tags except the ones I proposed to add: AUTHOR HELP_PATCH_AUTHOR
Most tags are self-explanatory; the only one that isn't is GENRE. I think we should keep it and link it up with the work being done on the "Properties" object-menu. So any object can be part of several GENREs. So the question is, what are the possible categories for GENRE?
The other unresolved issue is whether there can be commas separating the different keywords. Since I'm not sure exactly how the META data will be used, I guess we should keep it as simple as possible and not have commas for now.
But then what to do about multiple help patch authors?

Is there any place where
it's explained what are the meta patches, and
what should be in each patch? I never understood
the meaning of them, and
therefore, have never made any.
I could find any clear docs about that myself. I can
however send you the
I could try to do it myself as well. but as I suspected that I would find only an outdated wiki page with some loose information on it, I found it better to ask who really knows about it.
specification for "pd REFERENCE" supbatches in RjDj
help files. Note that this
is not dealing with META information like lices,
author, etc. Think of it as an
alternative implementation of the main pddp help patch
area into a parsable
format. The RjDj helpfiles can be got here: http://trac.rjdj.me ("Browse source")
thanks, but that doesn't really answer my question, it just hints at it.
anyway, I downloaded a couple files, and saw no reference subatch. I downloaded rj_accum-help.pd and rj_senergy~-help.pd, and they were normal help patches. Which ones did you meant?
And btw, one thing I would do is to download the rjdj library to study. is there a place where the whole pack of files can be downloaded?
