<title>

| ## Text Encoding Initiative
### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines # <title>

`<title>` | contains the title of a work, whether article, book, journal, or series, including any alternative titles or subtitles.
Attributes | (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from hqphrase)
`level` | (bibliographic level (or class) of title) indicates whether this is the title of an article, book, journal, series, or unpublished material.
| Datatype: (a | m | j | s | u)
| Legal values are:
a | analytic title (article, poem, or other item published as part of a larger item)
m | monographic title (book, collection, or other item published as a distinct item, including single volumes of multi-volume works)
j | journal title
s | series title
u | title of unpublished material (including theses and dissertations unless published by a commercial press)
| Default: #IMPLIED
| Example:
Note | If the title appears directly enclosed within an `<analytic>` element, the `level`, if given, must be ‘a’; if it appears directly enclosed within a `<monogr>` element, `level` must be ‘m’, ‘j’, or ‘u’; when `<title>` is directly enclosed by `<series>`, `level` must be ‘s’.
`type` | (type of title) classifies the title according to some convenient typology.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Sample values include:
main | main title
subordinate | subtitle, title of part
parallel | alternate title, often in another language, by which the work is also known
abbreviated | abbreviated form of title
| Default: #IMPLIED
| Example:
Note | This attribute is provided for convenience in analysing titles and processing them according to their type; where such specialized processing is not necessary, there is no need for such analysis, and the entire title, including subtitles and any parallel titles, may be enclosed within a single `<title>` element.
