Hi,

I’m using the two default taxonomies : tag & category

I want specific titles for pages from \layouts\taxonomy\tag.html & \layouts\taxonomy\category.html  
For tags, I want : “Tag [tag]” and for categories, I want : “Category [category]”

For now I’m using this in my header.html :

```
{{ if eq .Kind "taxonomy" }}
<title>Taxonomy {{ .Title }}</title>
{{ else }}
<title>{{ .Title }}</title>
{{ end }}

```

So actually titles for tags are “Taxonomy [tag]” and titles for categories are “Taxonomy [category]”.  
But I want “Tag [tag]” & “Category [category]”.

Regards.

I don’t think there is a variable for taxonomy name. You will need to add more conditional logic, or create your own array and pull from that.

You can probably keep it simple using [`with`](https://gohugo.io/functions/with/) instead of `if`.

Try `content/taxonomy/_index.md` and put front matter `title` in. Have the same and it works.

I don’t think that is what the OP is asking for. I know they use confusing examples, but I think they are trying to get the “Taxonomy” in their code snippet to say either Tag or Category, depending on the name of the taxonomy, _not_ the term title.

So when they say:

> So actually titles for tags are “Taxonomy [tag]” and titles for categories are “Taxonomy [category]”.  
> But I want “Tag [tag]” & “Category [category]”.

I believe they mean:

> So actually titles for tags are “Taxonomy [Earth]” and titles for categories are “Taxonomy [Planet]”.  
> But I want “Tag [Earth]” & “Category [Planet]”.

Or I misunderstanding. 🙂

@Geonov Since you’re on a taxonomy template, you can use `{{ .Data.Singular | title }}`.

To generate the full title string you could do `{{ print (.Data.Singular | title) " " .Title }}`

Thanks guys. Maiki is right.

```
{{ if eq .Kind "taxonomy" }}
<title>{{ .Data.Singular }} {{ .Title }}</title>
{{ else }}
<title>{{ .Title }}</title>
{{ end }}

```

did the trick.

Thanks guayom.
