Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/83

Some sites use styling tags in their <title> element.

An example is https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/clasp which currently wrap clasp in <code> tags.

I suggest that all HTML tags be removed from the page’s title.

I’m closing this, as I checked with the HTML 4.01 specification and it clearly says:

Titles may contain character entities (for accented characters, special characters, etc.), but may not contain other markup (including comments).

I mistakenly assumed the page mentioned above was well-formed (before checking the specification) because it was from Google :)
