The <figure> tag in HTML is used to add self-contained content like illustrations, diagrams, photos or codes listing in a document. It is related to main flow but it can be used in any position of a document and the figure goes with the flow of the document and if remove it then it should not affect the flow of the document. This tag is new in HTML5.

Syntax:

<figure> Image content... </figure>

Attributes: It contains mostly two attributes which are listed below:

  • img src: It is used to add image source in the document.
  • figcaption: It is used to set the caption to the image.
