Hiding page titles

Question

When Editing my Canvas page, I need to give my page a name/title.

When I'm viewing my page (after editing), the name of the page will appear above the page. But I don't want this because it doesn't match with my layout of the page. How do I (a novice in CANVAS) hide the title?

See the screenshot, I want the title with the yellow cross gone.

If I have to do this with HTML codes, please provide the full code, because I'm not experienced with this.

Hi @NMarinus,

Unfortunately, I think the simple answer here is that the title cannot easily be removed (and definitely cannot be removed by a teacher).  The only want to remove the title would be through custom CSS/Javascript added to an account theme.  That would have to be done by a Canvas Administrator and would affect every course in the account/subaccount (and may also affect more than just pages depending how it was coded).  I can see from your screenshot that you are going for a certain visual style on your pages, but I'd honestly advise just leaving the title as-is and stylizing the rest of your page as you see fit.

I know this might not be the answer or solution you were hoping for, but I am going to mark it as the solution as this post does describe how Canvas works and so that we know the question has been answered.

@chriscas is correct. The short answer is "no." You cannot remove the Canvas Page title. That being said, there are tricks for drawing the eye to the page content. Please see my attached screenshot. Notice how I used a double line and then created a header with a colored background.

Here's the HTML code I used for both:
