<p dir="auto">If you look at the provided example you will see that it attempts to make use of ng-content and that it does not work. The reason it does not work seems to be that it is attempting to use the contents of the root component which appears in the index.html. However, as soon as an intermediary component is introduced, as in this example:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="http://plnkr.co/edit/KwXVY0?p=preview" rel="nofollow">http://plnkr.co/edit/KwXVY0?p=preview</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Then the ng-content works correctly.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, and this is basically lumping two things together into one, shouldn't ng-content have become ngContent just as ngIf, ngFor, etc. did?</p>

<p dir="auto">I've been over the documentation 10 times, I've read through the source code, tutorials, the works...  and I still can't wrap my head around what I'm doing wrong.</p>
<p dir="auto">all I want to do is:</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-text-html-basic notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" dir="auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="&lt;app myTitle='my awesome title'&gt;  "><pre class="notranslate"><span class="pl-kos">&lt;</span><span class="pl-ent">app</span> <span class="pl-c1">myTitle</span>='<span class="pl-s">my awesome title</span>'<span class="pl-kos">&gt;</span>  </pre></div>
<p dir="auto">and access myTitle from inside the constructor.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is that possible in NG2?</p>
