HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
Notice that
<figcaption />
has been nested within the
<figure />
element.
This allows you to provide a caption for the item being used as the figure. If you
are referencing text, you can also use the
<cite />
element to reference the
source of the text. Listing 3-8 shows how you can use this.

<footer />
The
<footer />
element can be used to replace a
<div />
element, and is
commonly used to create a footer within a document. The
<footer />
element
will usually be used to contain contact and copyright information and links to
privacy policies or terms and conditions. Listing 3-9 shows how to create a
<footer />
. You can also use more than a single footer within a document, such
as within a section or article.
