+Obtain meta tags for an entity
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+For developers needing to access the rendered meta tags for a given entity, a
+function is provided to make this easy to do:
+
+ $metatags = metatag_generate_entity_metatags($entity);
+
+This will return an array with the following structure:
+
+ [
+ 'title' => [
+ '#tag' => 'meta',
+ '#attributes' => [
+ 'name' => 'title',
+ 'content' => 'The What | D8.4',
+ ],
+ ],
+ 'canonical_url' => [
+ '#tag' => 'link',
+ '#attributes' => [
+ 'rel' => 'canonical',
+ 'href' => 'http://example.com/what',
+ ],
+ ],
+ 'description' => [
+ '#tag' => 'meta',
+ '#attributes' => [
+ 'name' => 'description',
+ 'content' => 'I can't even.',
+ ],
+ ],
+ 'generator' => [
+ '#tag' => 'meta',
+ '#attributes' => [
+ 'name' => 'generator',
+ 'content' => 'Drupal 8!',
+ ],
+ ],
+ ]
+
+The meta tags are keyed off the meta tag plugin's ID, e.g. "generator". Each
+meta tag is then provided as arguments suitable for use in a render array with
+the type "html_tag". Extracting the value of the meta tag will depend upon the
+type of meta tag, e.g. the generator meta tag uses the "content" attribute while
+the link tag uses the "href" attribute.
