TITLE - Document Title

Syntax <TITLE>...</TITLE>
Attribute Specifications
Contents Plain text (including entities)
Contained in HEAD

The TITLE element gives the document's title. Each document must have exactly one TITLE within the HEAD. TITLE contains plain text and entities; it may not contain other markup.

A good TITLE should be short and specific to the document's content so that it can be used as a title for a user's bookmark, a title for the display window on visual browsers, and a link from a search engine. A suggested limit for the number of characters in a TITLE is 60.
