Can anyone explain meta file injection to me?

[The butler]

Okay so I got some basic modding stuff down (like proj & jtp! changes, editing globals and all that eschaton stuff) but i want to learn more complex modding, and I think meta injection is the first step. so... if anyone can make a tut with any type of meta injection(in HMT), who can make it idiot proof that would be awesome.

OK for importing tags the obsolete HHK way. Here Look in the tutorials section. ¬_¬

Easiest way do do injections is this:

Find a map that has what you want in it.
Select what you want, then recursively extract the tag (it's in one of the drop down menus as the top).
Load the mod you want the tag in.
Expand it.
Inject the tags.
Rebuild it.
Give credit to the creator of the map you ripped from, or whoever made the original tags.

The map WILL NOT BE CSS.

Okay so, i get the first 3 steps and the last one, but i get confused in the middle there. when i inject the tags do i select any thing, or, do i just open the map and immediately Goto inject meta?
also "Expand it" "Rebuild it"? ...huh
And one more thing:Can i inject/export meta in Eschaton 0.72?

P.S thanks for all the info so far :^], its getting me there step by step

I believe this is what is being referenced. For a step-by-step guide on importation using the older methods might I suggest my old AI importation tutorial here.
