Custom page title on SharePoint pages

In your pagelayout locate the content place holder called "PlaceHolderPageTitle".


<asp:Content ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
</asp:Content>

Type your page title inside it

<asp:Content ContentPlaceholderID="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
Contoso | <SharePointWebControls:FieldValue id="PageTitle" FieldName="Title" runat="server"/>
</asp:Content>

In this example the page title will be "Contoso | xyz" where xyz is what you have entered in the title field when you are in edit mode of the page.
