HTML title Tag

The information on this page is based on HTML version 4.01 (which is the current version of HTML). The next version, HTML 5, is currently being written. Here's a list of HTML 5 tags.

The HTML <title> tag is used for declaring the title of the HTML document.

The title is usually displayed in the browser's title bar (at the top). It is also typically used by search engines (to display the page title in the search results page) and browsers "favorites" lists.

The title tag is placed between the opening and closing <head> tags.

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
