HTML <caption> tag is used in conjunction with table tag to add the caption /title of an HTML table. It should be used inside table tag i.e. just after the <table> start tag. One table can contain only one <caption> element.

A table caption will be aligned center by default above a table. But the user can modify its place through CSS properties.

The <caption> tag is written as <caption></caption> with the caption content inserted between the start and end tags.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>The Caption Tag</title>
    <style>
        table, td, th {
        border: 2px solid gray;
        border-collapse: collapse;}
    </style>
 </head>
