Checking through a client website today I noticed that on just one page, the Browser Title was followed by a little snippet of ‘Bold’ code for the organisation name as shown:

![BC website wrong title grab](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/4/0/40efa187bf23cd84af83288f73a074451e4b7879.jpeg)

Thinking I must have accidentally pasted this into the HUD’s ‘Browser Title’, I opened the  
project to delete it but found nothing there except the intended title - no code to be seen! So I looked in the source and sure it enough there it was:

 ![BC Source](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/d/ed1b87feb96651826ba2305c8661afc0e46346c1.png)

Basically, whenever I deleted the word ‘Skills’ in the Browser Title the code disappeared, and when I put ‘Skills’ back in, so the code re-appeared.

To solve the problem, I took the word ‘Skills’ out, closed Rapidweaver, re-opened and added ‘Skills’ back in. This time the ‘bold’ code stayed away.

So all sorted - but anyone any idea what could make this happen?

That’s my exact point - there was no html in there - just a plain text title. But as I started to delete the last word of the title ‘Skills’ so the html disappeared. When I typed ‘skills’ back in the html re-appeared.

I can only imagine I must have originally pasted the html in accidentally, later deleted it, but it remained because of some cache bug?

That’s what you should get when viewing the source code as the Browser Title field adds the title tag automatically.

Looks like you might have done a copy & paste

Might well have done but if so, why did it remain - visible in source - even though completely deleted from the Browser Title field. As I said, there was no html in the field, and to get rid of it I had to empty the field of ALL text, close Rapidweaver, re-open and then enter the title text afresh. That cleared it but it’s concerning if Rapidweaver can get oddities like this when cutting and pasting stuff.

I found another example today where I created a markdown link in a footer and then copied and pasted a few times and amended to create other links. The links worked fine but the non-link text retained the link from the original I had created. I had to do it from scratch to get rid of the link as it was not visible in the link field!
