The information is there but as meta information, it's not content-information. Eg the maven site has 100s of documents written by different people at different times, you don't want to see all that when you browse the site, do you?

The purpose of adding it is to record some information about the origin of the document, not to convey information for the end-user.

You use 'mvn site' to generate apt files from apt source files? I guess you mean html? In this case the title and author end up in the html <head>, so you don't see them when you view the file with a browser.


Yes, sorry, I meant that I'm generating from APT, not to APT.

It's odd that the generator puts the title and author into the HTML but makes them invisible. And it ignores the date completely. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of adding this information?
