# subtitle

A string to display as the subtitle in the navigation bar.

```
var subtitle: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

If `attributedSubtitle` is `non-nil`, this property just returns the `String`
representation of the `attributedString`.
If `subtitleView` is non-nil, this property is ignored.
