Hi,

I am trying to add these into HTML head section in the ui.R

tags$meta(`http-equiv`="pragma", content="no-cache") # <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">

tags$meta(`http-equiv`="Cache-control", content="no-cache") # <meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-cache">

tags$meta(`http-equiv`="Cache-control", content="no-store") #<meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-store">

I wonder where I should place the code in order to let the HTML meta tags appear between <head> </head>

Thank you!

I might be wrong so maybe Joe Cheng or someone else will correct me, but I'm pretty sure that any code placed inside a `tags$head()` will appear inside the <head> tag. So just make a call to tags$head(tags$meta(...), tags$meta(...), tags$meta(...)). The exact location doesn't matter as far as I understand because it will know to go inside <head>

Dean's right. Also you don't want two separate tags for Cache-control, just one with comma-separated values (e.g. "no-cache, no-store").
