Figcaption HTML

HTML <figcaption> Tag

To provide a caption to an image, the HTML <figcaption> tag is used. It is placed either before or after the content within the <figure> tag, thus can be placed either as the first child or the last child of the <figure> element, but it is not mandatory to be used with the <figure> tag. Within a <figure> tag, only one <figcaption> element can be nested.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Example:</h2>
<figure>
    <img src="img.jpg" alt="Fly" width=300 height=200>
    <figcaption>Fig.1 - Fly high in the sky.</figcaption>
  </figure>
</body>
</html>
