title: Get $node variable in html.tpl.php - Drupal 7
body: <p>I'm trying to allow users to update head titles and meta descriptions for each page.  I thought that an easy way to achieve this would be to add a field to the 'Basic page' content type for the page title, then check if that field is not empty in html.tpl.php and if it is not, override $head_title with this user-defined value.</p>
  
  <p>However, it appears that the $node variable is not available in html.tpl.php.  Can anyone suggest a way for me to make this data available in this template file, or alternatively, alter $head_title before it is sent to html.tpl.php?  Thanks for reading.</p>
