Re: [Andy] how to insert rel="canonical" link with current URL

Thanks Andy.

The reason is to prevent "duplicate content" since at present bots believe

www.website.com/links/category/
and
www.website.com/links/category/index.htm

to be two different pages. The canonical should point to whichever is the current category page, without the "index.htm". So I wish to put it in the head of the category template for static building. It is not intended for different language versions or mobile (the site is responsive).

Thanks,
--Jo
