 On my site users can add posts themselves. There are many moderators.

 I wanted to use this function to strip any HTML from the title, because of
 it can be added from the admin panel. Unwanted HTML can break design.

 So, I have to use:

 {{{
 echo '<h1><span>' . esc_attr(strip_tags($title)) .
 '</span><ins></ins></h1>';
 }}}

 This code is more convenient:

 {{{
 the_title_attribute('before=<h1><span>&after=</span><ins></ins></h1>');
 }}}
