title not populating from content page

Question

I am using thymeleaf with spring-mvc to create template in my application. I have created 3 files (head, layout and content) as below;

head.html

<title>layout<title>

layout.html

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 
    xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout">

<head th:include="head"></head>
</html>

content.html

<html layout:decorator="layout" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout">
  <head>
    <title>content</title>
  </head>
</html>

Now with this setup, when I run my application and open content.html page I see title as "layout" instead of "content".

Am I doing something wrong in the configuration?

Specific answer

In the layout files title, make the title as content

<title layout:title-pattern="$CONTENT_TITLE"></title>

Further description

Lets assume the application main title is "My Web" and you are viewing the page content with the title "Content"

To make the page display the title as "My Web - Content"

Layout File

<title layout:title-pattern="$DECORATOR_TITLE - $CONTENT_TITLE">My Web</title>

ContentFile

<html layout:decorator="layout" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout">
  <head>
    <title>Content</title>
  </head>
</html>
