SVG <title></title> tag tooltips don't work in blogger

I put it in like this:
<title>PLAY</title>

Blogger parses the code and changes it to:
PLAY

Only this seems to work on blogger:

title="PLAY"

But you can’t use that on SVG’s.

What do I do?

Do I forgo using <title></title> tag tooltips on SVG’s, or is there a solution?

No, don’t bow down to blogger when you know your code is right. :smashy:

What do I do? or is there a solution?

Sounds like it’s time to stage a protest in front of blogger headquarters

On a serious note now, It sounds like blogger’s booger’s wysiwyg editor is stripping your html.

It was probably programmed to only accept one <title></title> tag per page. The one that belongs in the document head. More than likely it discards any others and assumes you made a mistake .

There should be a way around it in the wysiwyg editor dashboard options. It may allow you to hand code them back in too, and then click save or something like that.

wysiwyg editor dashboard options

Edited:
What’s that?

You mean what’s that

WYSIWYG = what you see is what you get

Those type of editors are notorious for stripping out html.

Is there a solution, is there a way to get it to work?

You would have to do some reading to find how to override it, I’m sure you can.
I don’t know anything about blogger so you would have to do a search…

Something like blogger html editor dashboard

I keep putting this in:
<title>PLAY</title>

Blogger keeps stripping it out.
PLAY

It’s going to keep on doing that until you get it out of “Auto Mode” and find a way to let you manually control what gets saved

That’s why I said “You Have To Read” to find out what you need to do to override it

It’s free to use to make a test page.

Does your editor dashboard look like the one in this pic

If it does try the “Format Template” button and see if you have any luck there
Or try “Settings” in the left column and look for any override options

I’m not really into the whole overriding stuff.

If it can’t be done within the html/javascript gadget, I don’t want to touch it.

I see the title tag working for me

And you will notice it added the svg titles to the page title in that link above
The actual page title was "Background Image Fade In "

Override the html settings in the radio buttons shown below…

  1. Show HTML literally
  2. untick <br> tag

I’m using this though:

Well, regardless of all that you need to go to your default page editor and check the radio buttons as I have shown.

You may see similar options in your other widgets

‘Show HTML literally’

It’s a different layout than yours.

Different settings for different layouts.

Your blogger template has nothing to do with the default editor options

Settings are only for posts, not html/javascript gadget.
