Sanitizes the current title when retrieving or displaying.

Works like the_title(), except the parameters can be in a string or an array. See the function for what can be override in the $args parameter. The title before it is displayed will have the tags stripped and esc_attr() before it is passed to the user or displayed. The default as with the_title(), is to display the title.
