If a page has no description, the page content is used in the
descriptionmetadata. This is fine in some cases (e.g. blog posts) but in pages where Jekyll tags are used near top of the page (e.g.{% include posts.html %}) the tags can appear in the description. This includes the homepage!See related #481.
