### Titles
```ruby
set_meta_tags title: 'Member Login'
# Some Page Title
```
```ruby
set_meta_tags site: 'Site Title', title: 'Member Login'
# Site Title | Page Title
```
```ruby
set_meta_tags(
site: 'Site Title',
title: 'Member Login',
reverse: true,
separator: '·'.html_safe
)
# Page Title · Site Title
```
Works in a controller or a view.
