Use of metadata

All pages publicly available from Direktoratet for e-helse's GitHub should indicate maturity and status of the publicly available documentation. The status should be indicated with at table on the top of each page, just like what is shown on the top of this one. The markdown code for the metadata table should look like this:

| Status | Version | Maturity | Normative level |
|:-------------|:------------------|:------|:-------|
|  <span style="background-color:gold">Work in progress</span> | v0.5 | draft | ikke normert/skal ikke normeres |
