Hi there, 
I am creating a book, and I added a "description" in the _quarto.yaml file.
Now, the HTML file contains a META Descritpion entry, but, additionally, the text of that description is posted on top of every page of the book.

My question is:  why is that, and is there a way to turn it off?</div>
