HTML caption element

The <caption> HTML element specifies the caption (or title) of a table, providing the table an accessible name or accessible description.

If included, the <caption> element must be the first child of its parent <table> element. When a <table> is nested within a <figure> as the figure’s only content, it should be captioned via a <figcaption> for the <figure> instead of as a <caption> nested within the <table>. Any background-color applied to a table will not be applied to its caption. Add a background-color to the <caption> element as well if you want the same color to be behind both.
