#replace_title_for(page) ⇒ Object

Usage: You can use the attributes of any instance variables and insert them in the title For example:

This is a page for {{my_object:my_object_attribute}}

Requires that any object that will be used have a public whitelist method which returns an array of legal attributes (as this can be set by a user certain attributes should not be exposed)
