Shiny output not enclosed in tags - is it possible?

I want to output a string not enclosed in tags using shiny, e.g. create <title> content. Example:

server.R

library(shiny)



shinyServer(function(input, output) {

  output$mytitle <- renderText("Hello World")

})

ui.R

library(shiny)



shinyUI(fluidPage(

    #tags$title(textOutput("mytitle")) 

    #tags$title(uiOutput("mytitle")) 

    tags$head(htmlOutput("mytitle", container = tags$title)) 

))

In every case shiny outputs things enclosed in some tags (generally <div> or <span>). Is it possible to output untagged string (text directly in <body>)? Is it possible to set <title> using shiny?

I understand that it uses jQuery to dynamically input content into HTML tags, however this behaviour possible to obtain in jQuery, so I am interested if it is so in shiny?
