I followed the replies of the others and read with interest the references to escaped markup. Unfortunately I can't see any escaped markup in your message with my email program so I am at a loss as to how to help.

Hello Charles,

the required output should be something like the following, where the
escaped HTML-tags (like the one for bold (<b>) and italic (<i>)
formatting) inside the <TITLE> element of input file should be
interpreted/translated as desired.
