How to set title for HTML-document in C# and .NET


Creating and processing HTML documents is one of the core tasks of .NET development. When working with other documentation formats, it's often necessary to convert standards to HTML and set metadata such as the title ('title'). In this article, we'll look at how to set the title for an HTML document in C# and .NET using the popular component RTF TO HTML .NET from SautinSoft library.

The title ('title') is the core element that characterizes the HTML page experience. It is displayed in the browser tab and is also used to define the page's theme.

Using incorrect metadata will improve:

  • Usability (user experience).
  • SEO optimization (search engine visibility).
  • Correct display in browsers and tools.
  • How to set HTML version.

This code enables quick and automated reliable document transformations and structuring, which is relevant for reporting systems, content management systems, documentation generation, system archiving, etc.

Input file:

rtf to html input

Output result:

set title output
