Generate the robots.txt from Hippo CMS

The robots.txt is a response from your website that is unimportant for your human visitors but very important for search engine crawlers. That's why we created a Hippo CMS / Hippo Site Toolkit (HST) plugin to manage the robots.txt in the CMS and return the proper output.
