I have a customer who uses italics in the title of their articles (such as "Jeff's Corner  - My Latest Idea") . However, with the SEO title option on, the title shows in the browser title bar (such as "Jeff's Corner - My Latest Idea") which the customer finds objectionable. 

As a short term solution, I've turned off the SEO title option.  Is there a way to keep the italics in the article title but  ignore the html tags in the browser title bar?

I have version 5.28 of the Articles module. 

Thanks muchly.
LL

Let me re-do the example so it will display properly:

title of their articles such as:   Jeff's Corner  - My Latest Idea

how it shows up in the browser:   Jeff's <em>Corner</em> - My Latest Idea

Any way to get the italics to show in the title of the article without the html showing in the browser title bar?

Thanks.

I think the best option here, would be to either remove the illegal characters automatically OR provide an additional option (defaulted to title) that would allow you to specify a title in the browser bar.

What do you think about both approaches?

Scott, Thanks for responding. Either one would work for me, but I will ask the client which one they would prefer. - LL

Scott, The client would prefer #1: remove the illegal characters automatically. (They did say that #2 sounded good but that it would require more effort. Their website handles a lot of articles from many authors so simple is best.) Thanks muchly. - LL

I'll be removing all chars for the title in the browser with the exception of A-Z, spaces and dashes, does this sound OK?

Scott,

I would recommend keeping: A-Z, 0-9, spaces, along with the standard punctuation: .,?!@#$%&*()[]

Can you also keep the slashes?  I'm concerned about changing the title too much.

I think if you can just eliminate any html, that would be best.  So anything within <> along with the angle brackets.

Thanks.

I've made the change for this locally, using the StripHtml method in the module, this should resolve this issue for the next release.
