posttitle

Posttitle is a variable name used in content management systems and static site generators to denote the title of a post or article. It is commonly used in templates where content is rendered.

In templates, posttitle is inserted into the page title, header elements, and social sharing metadata. Using a consistent variable name helps separate content from presentation and simplifies localization and reuse.

Variations exist across platforms: some systems use post_title or title, and template languages render the value with syntax such as {{ posttitle }}, {{ post_title }}, or {{ title }}. The precise syntax depends on the framework.

Best practices include keeping titles descriptive and unique, targeting a typical length around 60 characters for search results, and avoiding duplication across pages. The title should be readable, accessible, and translated when needed.

Examples: In a Handlebars-like template, the title element can be set with the expression posttitle. In a Python Jinja template, the HTML head might include <title>{{ posttitle }}</title>.
