Re: [Summary-Talk] wishlist request: nofollow

[Jason Linhart <summary@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you use Summary in the normal way, through the web interface, Summary
provides a /robots.txt file that tells the search engines to not index
any of Summary's content. That approach is more complete than the
nofollow tag, since everything that honors the nofollow tag also honors
the /robots.txt approach and many things that don't honor nofollow still
honor /robots.txt.

However, if you are using static HTML reports you do want to have
nofollow tags, which are not currently provided. I will add nofollow
tags to the static HTML reports in the next release of Summary.
