Command Syntax:

<TITLE>
  HTML Document Title
</TITLE>

The <TITLE> command defines the HTML Document Title.  The HTML Document Title is displayed in the browser's application title bar but not within the HTML Document, itself.  For this reason it is critical that the first displayed document header match the HTML Document Titile precisely.  If this is not done then the HTML Document becomes difficult to cite.

The HTML Document Title also informs WWW search engine webcrawlers of the title of the document.  This is another reason why the first visible header and the title should agree.

This command is used only in the HTML Document Head Segment.

Example:

<HEAD>
  <TITLE>HTML Document Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>

The <TITLE> command within the Head Segment declares the HTML Document Title.

Note: The HTML Document Title must match the first visible document heading in order for
the document to be citable.
