TITLE - Document title

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

The TITLE tag is the only required tag in an HTML document. It provides the title of the document. This title 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.
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.
