Figure and Figcaption

With HTML5, a couple new elements were introduced to further assist with images. These are “figure” (<figure>) and “figure caption” (<figcaption>). These can be used together to easily group figures or images with associated captions.

The figure element is used as a container to group together one or more images with a caption. Within the figure element, you would place your image and/or related elements, as well as your caption elements.
