TITLE

The title of a document is specified by the TITLE element, which should be placed in the document HEAD. Each document can have only one title, which should identify the document content in a general way.

The TITLE element must occur within the head of the document, and may not contain anchors, paragraph tags, or highlighting. There may only be one TITLE in any document.

The length of titles is unlimited, however, long titles may be truncated in some applications. To minimize this possibility, keep titles to fewer than 64 characters. Also keep in mind that a short title, such as Introduction, may be meaningless out of context. An example of a meaningful title might be:

    <Title>Recent Advances in Nanotechnology</Title>

DTD Entry

<!ELEMENT TITLE - -  (#PCDATA)* -(%head.misc)>

Every HTML 3.2 document must have exactly one TITLE element in the document's HEAD. It provides an advisory title which can be displayed in a user agent's window caption etc. The content model is PCDATA. As a result, character entities can be used for accented characters and to escape special characters such as & and <. Markup is not permitted in the content of a TITLE element.
