This list is the ONLY appropriate place for a question like this that
has absolutely nothing to do with extension or core development of
Typo3. Don't cross-post without a good reason.

Try one of:

text.data = field:title
text.data = page:title

...and check out .field and .data in the .stdWrap section [1] and then
read through the Datatype reference [2].
