Document title

The title feature lets you add a single title field at the beginning of your document. This way you can clearly divide your content into the title and body sections.

# Demo

Use the editor below to create a document with distinct title and body sections. You can check the content of the title and body elements in the console below.

''

'<p>&nbsp;</p>'

''

# Keyboard navigation

The title plugin lets you move from the title to the body element using the Tab key, providing form-like experience. When the selection is at the beginning of the first body element, you can go back to the title element using Shift+Tab. You can also use Enter and Backspace keys to move the caret between the title and the body.

# Placeholder integration

The title plugin is integrated with the placeholder configuration. If you define it, the placeholder text will be used for the body element.

To change the title placeholder, use the title.placeholder configuration option. For instance:

ClassicEditor
    .create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ), {
        plugins: [ Title, /* ... */ ],
        title: {
            placeholder: 'My custom placeholder for the title'
        },
        placeholder: 'My custom placeholder for the body'
    } )
    .then( /* ... */ )
    .catch( /* ... */ );

# Installation

To add this feature to your editor, install the @ckeditor/ckeditor5-heading package:

npm install --save @ckeditor/ckeditor5-heading

Then add the Title plugin to your plugin list:

import { Title } from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-heading';

ClassicEditor
    .create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ), {
        plugins: [ Title, /* ... */ ]
    } )
    .then( /* ... */ )
    .catch( /* ... */ );

# HTML structure

When you call editor.getData(), the document title will be represented as the following HTML:

<h1>Feasibility Study</h1>

# Model representation

In the CKEditor 5 data model the document title is represented as follows:

<title>
    <title-content>
        Feasibility Study
    </title-content>
</title>
