Permalink
For SEO purposes, I need to add a title attribute to all the URLs for pages in a page list. Currently, the URL structure is simply
I need it to read like this:
I tried to accomplish this by making a custom template for the Page List block with a single change in it...from this:
...to this:
...and that worked to put the title attribute in the anchor tag. But it stripped the quotation marks from the href. The link still works all right, but it looks like this:
I'm not a programmer...does anyone here know why this happened? Because it works it may not be too serious; but I just want to have the cleanest source code possible.
