I am using the MVC to add a title to the masterpage with a content place holder. The default MVC masterpage template uses the following code:
<head runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server"/></title>
<link href="../../Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
When I try to add defaulted text to the front of the content holder, it doesn't show the text in the final rendered page. I am trying to get the page to show a default title with appended contentplaceholder text.
Example:
(Default Text) (ContentPlaceHolder Text)
My Page - About Us
<head runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>My Page - <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server"/></title>
<link href="../../Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
I am looking for a way to accomplish this without having to use code behind. Any ideas?

It seems we should use
<asp:Literal runat="server" Text=" - MySite" />
instead of
<asp:LiteralControl runat="server" Text=" - MySite" />
mentioned in the article, because otherwise we get "Unknown server tag" error.

After looking further, Phil Haack actually posted an article which was a solution to my question. It can be found at Haacked.
In summary he said that everything that is rendered in the head is rendered as a control, and the fix for my question above is to put an asp literal control in the title to have it correctly generate the text.
<%@ Master ... %>
<html>
<head runat="server">
<title>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="titleContent" runat="server" />
<asp:LiteralControl runat="server" Text=" - MySite" />
</title>
</head>
