$this->text('title') does echo $this->data['title']

so if you want to do an output to html you use the $this->text('title') and if you want to store the value of the page title into another variable or function use $this->data['title']

It took me a while to figure out the way mediawiki 1.4 does it and I actually just found the answer yesterday! Feels great to give back.

A (probably quite simple) question, how can I get the value of a page title into a variable? We've quite a few very long page titles in our wiki & i want to decrease the font size displayed on screen once the title is (say) greater than 30 characters.

I can't appear to go $value = $this->text('title'); as that just outputs the page title to the screen. How then can I determine the title? Once I have the title in a var I'll strlen it & adjust the formatting accordingly.

Thanks,
