removeTitle

Default

Removes the <title> element from the document.

This plugin may have significant accessibility implications. The purpose of <title> is to provide users of assistive technologies the means to get a summary of the SVG if they're not able to view it.

It can be sensible to remove the <title> element in one of the following scenarios:

The SVG is purely aesthetic and has no impact on the user-experience.
Accessibility is handled elsewhere, such as in the aria-label or aria-describedby attributes in an HTML document.
