HTMLTitleElement: text property

The text property of the HTMLTitleElement interface represents the text of the document's title. Only the text part is included; tags within the element and their content are stripped and ignored.

Value

A string.

Examples

Consider the example below:

html

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <title>
      Hello world! <span class="highlight">Isn't this wonderful</span> really?
    </title>
  </head>
  <body></body>
</html>

const title = document.querySelector("title");
console.log(title.text); // yield: "Hello world!  really?"

As you can see, the tag span and its content were skipped.
