🔮Today, I would like to share with you about the HTML <figure> element.

The HTML <figure> element represents self-contained content, frequently with a caption (<figcaption>), and is typically referenced as a single unit. -MDN

<figure>
<img src="URL of the image" alt="description of the image" />
<figcaption>This is a figcaption.</figcaption>
</figure>

Attributes

figure: an image, illustration, diagram, code snippet, etc, with <figcaption>, and is typically referenced as a single unit.

img : embeds an image

alt: a textual description of the image

figcaption : represents a caption or legend for the rest of the contents its parent <figure> element, if any.

Troubleshooting

When you use a <img> tag, you will face a problem, there is a gap between <img> and <figcaption>. To remove this gap, add attributedisplay: block; in <img> tag.

img { 
display: block;
}
