Template Tags/the title attribute

Contents

Description

Displays or returns the title of the current post. It somewhat duplicates the functionality of the_title(), but provides a 'clean' version of the title by stripping HTML tags and converting certain characters (including quotes) to their character entity equivalent; it also uses query-string style parameters. This tag must be within The Loop.

Usage

 <?php the_title_attribute('arguments'); ?> 

Example

<?php the_title_attribute('before=<h3>&after=</h3>'); ?>

Parameters

before 
(string) Text to place before the title. Defaults to ''.
after 
(string) Text to place after the title. Defaults to ''.
echo 
(Boolean) Echo the title (1) or return it for use in PHP (0). Defaults to 1.
