The caption element

Read Original

The article clarifies the purpose of the HTML <caption> element, which is specifically for labeling and describing tables for accessibility. It contrasts this with closed captions for video, discusses the limitations of the `summary` attribute, and advocates for inclusive design using the 'By Default Or Death' principle. It also covers technical details like placing headings inside <caption> and using the CSS `caption-side` property.
