 ### Meta data
 
-Meta data separated by lines and in format `name: value`. By default library supports `tags` as comma separated array.
+Meta data separated by lines and in format `- name: value`. By default library supports `tags` as comma separated array.
 During populating tree it adds missing `id` in `abcex` format and empty meta data lines and saves in `source` directory then copy
 to `destination` directory.
 
 ### File structure
 
 ```
-tags: linux,command,video
-meta1: example
-meta2: some long description
