# Important: The job detail sets the page title {#important-job-detail-sets-the-page-title}

## Description {#description}

The detail of a job wrote the title of the job into a meta tag
`<meta name="title">`, which neither browsers nor search engines read,
and left the `<title>` of the page at the title of the detail page, the
same for every job. A job without a description, or with an empty paragraph
only, got an empty `<meta name="description">` and empty Open Graph and
Twitter descriptions, and the entities of a description were escaped a second
time, `&amp;` showed as `&amp;amp;`.

The title of the job is now the title of the page, set through the page title
API of TYPO3 with the new provider
`\FGTCLB\AcademicJobs\PageTitle\JobTitleProvider`, registered as
`config.pageTitleProviders.academicJobs`. The meta tag
`<meta name="title">` is no longer written. The three description meta
tags carry the text of the description with its entities decoded and its white
space reduced to single spaces, and are written only for a job with a
description. See
[The title of the job detail page](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-jobs:configuration-general-detail-page-title@main).

## Impact {#impact}

The `<title>` of a job detail page names the job, with the site title
around it the way the site configures it. A site whose own provider should
win orders it before `academicJobs`. The shipped provider is
ordered before `record` and `seo`.

A job without a description leaves the description of the page in place, the
one EXT:seo writes from the page properties for example.

TYPO3 v12 and v13 behave alike here.
