the_title_attribute()

the_title_attribute() — Sanitizes the current title when retrieving or displaying. Works like the_title(), except the parameters can be in a string or an array. See the function for what can be override in the $args parameter. The title before it is displayed will have the tags stripped and esc_attr() before it is passed to the user or displayed. The default as with the_title(), is to display the title.

Inputs: $args (string|array): Title attribute arguments. Optional. Field $before (string): Markup to prepend to the title. Default empty. Field $after (string): Markup to append to the title. Default empty. Field $echo (bool): Whether to echo or return the title. Default true for echo. Field $post (WP_Post): Current post object to retrieve the title for.

Returns string|null|void: The title attribute when ‘echo’ is false, null when the title is empty. Nothing otherwise.
