Italics in html title?

[obsos]

Hi,

We're trying to promote some stage shows at our local theatres. Is it possible to use italics for the name of the show in the html title (and description for that matter)?

Cheers

AFAIK you cannot code the meta tags for 'title' or 'description' to display in italics, but you can have your <H1> tags (the page heading tags) do this quite easily with CSS.

Correct - the HTML specification states that markup is not permitted in the <title> element:

[w3.org...]

When I want to add a little flavor to the page title I usually use colons or other symbols, like this.

Theatre Group presents .::Name of Play::.

Just don't go overboard with it or it will look bad.

I often use single quotes around 'Citations' in the page title - it seems to me the safest approach, but I also like that fancy option you suggest, dmorison. I would never have thought of it.

Great ... thanks for that ... I like that colon idea also.
Thanks for all your responses.
