+ \section1 Meta Data
+
+ Additional data can be attached to each translatable message.
+ The syntax:
+
+ \tt{//= <id>}
+
+ can be used to give the message a unique identifier to support tools
+ which need it.
+ The syntax:
+
+ \tt{//~ <field name> <field contents>}
+
+ can be used to attach meta data to the message. The field name should consist
+ of a domain prefix (possibly the conventional file extension of the file format
+ the field is inspired by), a hyphen and the actual field name in
+ underscore-delimited notation. For storage in TS files, the field name together
+ with the prefix "extra-" will form an XML element name. The field contents will
+ be XML-escaped, but otherwise appear verbatim as the element's contents.
+ Any number of unique fields can be added to each message.
+
+ Example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp meta data
+
+ Meta data appearing right in front of a magic TRANSLATOR comment applies to the
+ whole TS file.
