## NAME

HTMLDocument::setTitle - Sets the title of a HTML element

## SYNOPSIS

**Void setTitle(** *ElementTree element, String title* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

## DESCRIPTION

Sets the title of a HTML element. The title can be used to provide optional additional information about an element.

A common use is providing optional additional information about a link.
