TITLE - Document title

This element is also available in our updated HTML 4 reference. Some characteristics may have changed.

Appearance:	<TITLE> </TITLE>
Attributes:	None.
Contents:	Plain text.
May occur in:	HEAD.

Each document must have exactly one TITLE element. This element provides the title of the document. It is usually displayed at the top of the browser's window, but also used to label a bookmark entry for the document and as a caption in search engine results.

It may only contain text and entities, but no markup.

Notes:

Make sure the TITLE tag is also useful out of context. It should still be understandable when it is used as label in a bookmarks file.
Although it is legal to use entities inside TITLE, not all browsers are able to handle these properly. It is recommended that you restrict yourself to the characters 32-126 decimal from ISO Latin 1.
Netscape 1.x had a bug with respect to titles. When more than one TITLE tag was used in the HEAD, it would display them in a sequence, causing a "marquee" effect. This bug has been fixed in later versions.
