i’m using a macro for the header and called it as such

```
{{ head::header(config = config, security_config = config.extra.security) }}

```

the following `config.description` is not transformed for sections and pages.

```
<meta name="description" content="{{ config.description }}" />

```

but other variables in config.toml always are converted. for example. the following are transformed as expected.

```
<meta name="base" content="{{config.base_url}}"/>
<meta name="copyright" content="{{config.extra.author}}"/>

```

The `config.description` is guaranteed in the `config.toml` file - and imho should be avail for section and page?!  
And there is NO error rendering the site.

It should be available everywhere? That’s a bug if it isn’t

The same goes for `config.title`.

But `config.default_language` does render
