Description

Displays or returns the title of the current post. It somewhat duplicates the functionality of the_title(), but provides a “clean” version of the title for use in HTML attributes by stripping HTML tags with strip_tags() and by converting certain characters (including quotes) to their character entity equivalent with esc_attr(); it also uses query-string style parameters. This tag must be within The Loop.

Usage

 <?php the_title_attribute( $args ); ?> 

Parameter $arg

$post

(integer or object) (optional) The ID of the post or an object that specifies the post from which to get the title. By default the current post is fetched.
