Synopsis
<title> . . . </title>
Required
. Specifies the title of the document. All documents must contain a meaningful
title
within the
head
of the document. Titles should contain only ASCII characters (letters,
numbers, and basic punctuation). Special characters (such as
&
) should be referred to by their
character entities within the title.
Titles should be clear and descriptive. The title is typically displayed in the top bar of the
browser, outside the regular content window, as well as in a user's bookmarks or favorites list.
Search engines also rely heavily on document titles.
