The Information Commons .................... Introduction to HTML |
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 is not part of the document text and cannot contain hypertext links or special markup commands -- it must be simple text. Often the title is used to label the window displaying the text, or is used to label a place in a browser's history or bookmark list. It therefore should be short -- less than 64 characters is strongly recommended.
Some appropriate titles might be:
<TITLE>Article by Rivest and Neuman. 1989(b)</TITLE>or
<TITLE>Introduction to MIME types </TITLE>Examples of inappropriate titles are those which are not meaningful without the related document,
<TITLE>Introduction</TITLE>or those that are too long,
<TITLE>Remarks on the Quantum-Gravity effects of "Bean Pole" diversification in Mononucleosis patients in Developing Countries under Economic Conditions Prevalent during the Second half of the Twentieth Century, and Related Papers: a Summary</TITLE>
