How to Add Page Title to HTML File

[dshafer]

OK, I'm sure this is going to be so simple I'll slink back into my cave, tail between my legs, when I see the answer, but I give up after spending way too much time on this.

I want to use Write as my HTML editor instead of Dreamweaver. So far, it does everything I want. But I have a question. Is there any way to give an HTML page a title without editing the HTML source? For a great WYSIWYG app like OOo to require me to go into relatively messy direct-text editing mode to accomplish this seems weird. On top of that, I have had a couple of incidents where I entered a title in the raw text, went back to document view and saved the document only to have it obliterate my document title. That's not a repeatable bug but it does cause me some concern.

So...is there some way through the GUI to give an HTML file a title or not?

Well, it's not the world's most logical solution if you're coming from the traditional webpage construction model, but it turns out the page takes all the metadata from the Properties dialogue (File: Properties)...Title, keywords, and so forth.

It does, however, make sense, I suppose, if you're coming from the office suite mentality, particularly the evil "Word-take-title-metadata-from-first-line-of-text" model.

The use of the document Properties to fill out header information in the HTML document is actually quite a good design idea, I think. Thanks for pointing me to that. One more notch in the OOo belt.
