## Overview
In `HTML`, the **`<figcaption>` tag** is used to define the caption of the `<figure>` element. It is added as the last or the first child of the `<figure>` element in a document.

## Syntax
```html
<figure>
  <img src="...">
  <figcaption></figcaption>
</figure>

// or

<figure>
  <figcaption></figcaption>
  <img src="...">
</figure>
```

## Attribute support

## Browser support
The `<figcaption>` tag supports the following browsers:
* Google Chrome
* Internet Explorer
* Firefox
* Opera
* Safari

## Code example
Let's see an example of the `<figcaption>` tag in the following code widget: 

<html>
 <head>
 </head>
 <body>
    <h3>&lt;figcaption&gt; example</h3>
    <figure>
      <img src="https://www.educative.io/static/imgs/logos/MainLogoV2.png">
      <figcaption>educative.io</figcaption>
    </figure>

## Code explanation
In the HTML tab:
* In line 6, we create a `<figure>` element and add an image inside, it using the **`<img>` tag**.
* In line 8, we define the caption of the `<figure>` element, using the `<figcaption>` tag.

## Output
In the output, we see the Educative logo and a caption beneath it, which was added with the help of the `<figcaption>` tag.
