Title Tag Limitation -> Is it the only one? 1

[1DMF]

Hi,

I've noticed that the title tag seems to suffer from the inability to put other tags within it.

Is this correct?

Basically I wanted to add accessibility and semantics to my title as it had an abbreviation in it.

I tried the <abbr> tag and it showed as actual text, not parsed as a tag.

I'm guessing this is a deliberate 'by design' issue and there is nothing I can do about it?

Plus wondered if there are any other tags which suffer the same problem.

Cheers, 1DMF.

Titles may contain character entities (for accented characters, special characters, etc.), but may not contain other markup (including comments).

As far as I know, no.

Not the answer I wanted, but thanks anyway.

hmm...so much for accessibility and semantic coding, if you cannot wrap an abbr tag around an abbreviation used in a title!

Same for acronyms and emphasis as well I guess.. just think of those poor ole screen readers, ... assuming they read the user the title tag content?
