Figure tag.

Question

so i've seen the <figure> tag in the challenges but i dont remember seeing it in the html course here or
in any other place.can someone kindly tell me what is it used for ? and whether its supported in html 5 or not ? Thanks in regard😀

Answer 1

Figure is new to html 5. I is meant to group an image and label.
<figure>
<img src="img_pulpit.jpg" alt="The Pulpit Rock" width="304" height="228">
<figcaption>Fig.1 - A view of the pulpit rock in Norway.</figcaption>
</figure>
