<caption>

Caption of a Figure, Table, Etc.

Container element for the textual description that is associated with a <fig>, <table>, etc. This element can contain the title of the figure, the title plus a figure note, or the description of the figure that prints or displays with the figure.

In print or display, a caption is usually recognizable because it is not part of the ordinary text flow; it sits just under, above, beside, or in the same small window or page area as the tabular portions of the table or the graphical portions of the figure.

Remarks

There are two models for figures: (a) an image followed by a number and a caption and (b) a number, followed by a title, then an image, then an optional note, which displays below the graphic. Most of the journals in PsycARTICLES use model (a); the American Psychologist uses model (b). In model (b), both the title and the note should be captured inside <caption>; the figure title should be captured as a <title> inside the caption and the figure note should be captured as the remainder of the <caption> element. In both models, the figure number should be tagged as a <label>.
