## Description

INKYLAB Indepth adds structured metadata tags to the `<head>` section of WordPress
pages. The plugin outputs information about posts, pages, taxonomy archives, and

The plugin can also load an optional external header script configured by administrators
from the WordPress dashboard.

 * Content type and post type
 * Publication date
 * Estimated reading time

The plugin works with standard WordPress APIs and follows WordPress coding and security
practices.
