When someone posts a link on e.g. facebook, the link gives no "sexy" information about the event. It would be nice that we provide metadata to display e.g. naam, organisation, dates, etc. in the description when the link is posted.

[x] og:title
[x] og:url
[x] og:description
[ ] Strip html tags from og:description

This link contains all the required info: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices

The following tags are usefull imho:

og:title should be the event title.
og:url should be the current url
og:description should be the event description

Just walking through issues, can't this last part easily be done with this helper?
